Challenge

O.C. Tanner has over 100 engineers spread across two countries and was using a suite of very expensive tools to maintain code quality. Security and reliability are paramount for them, as they handle sensitive HR data for multiple Fortune 500 companies. With a highly complex codebase, it was taking an enormous amount of time to run basic scans and checks, and errors and style inconsistencies compounded quickly across such a large team.

Codacy provided one integrated, fully automated solution with clear, quantifiable metrics that could be presented to current clients, all with a cost savings of over 60%. In most cases, Codacy was tracking down issues in less than 10% of the time they were spending previously.

Other benefits

Overall, Codacy has improved consistency across all teams and allowed engineering managers to proactively address issues and blockers.
