  • Copado Announces Government Cloud to Help Federal, State and Local Agencies Leverage DevOps to Accelerate and Scale Digital Transformation Projects

    New cloud infrastructure delivers the scale, security and governance required for modern projects with an isolated and compliant platform for government customers, contractors and federally funded research projects

    Chicago – Aug. 4, 2020 – Copado, a leading native DevOps platform for Salesforce, today announced Copado Government Cloud to help government agencies accelerate the time-to-value of Salesforce digital transformation projects. With Copado DevOps, federal, state and local governments can optimize and measure innovation delivery on the Salesforce platform with full visibility and accountability to ever-changing regulatory and security environments. Copado will enable agencies to respond faster, deliver more digital services, scale to unprecedented demands and connect to its citizens.

     

    Due to COVID-19, government agencies are working to address the exponential demand for digital solutions to meet the needs of the public. This demand is overwhelming delivery capacity. Additionally, government projects require a high level of quality, compliance and governance to reduce risk and protect against increased digital threats.

     

    Copado delivers the quality, speed and scale required by federal, state and local governments to address these needs. Currently in process to be FedRAMP Moderate Authorized by the end of 2020, Copado offers the only Salesforce DevOps platform that scales to the needs of large government projects with the visibility, governance and analytics required to manage multi-million dollar budgets. The company continues to offer its platform free to COVID-19 specific projects to help the fight against the global pandemic.

     

    Since March, Copado has signed contracts with seven new government agencies. The company is helping five agencies rapidly build and deliver high-quality COVID-19 communication, reporting and tracking apps to its citizens. These include scaling and optimizing call, web, chat and text response systems. Copado has deep experience working with government customers including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the states of California, Kansas, Massachusetts, Missouri and Vermont, the Louisiana Department of Health, the District of Columbia, and international government agencies including the Province of Ontario, Canada.

     

    “Governments are scrambling to address the demands from constituents on many fronts since COVID-19 disrupted daily life. They are creating contact tracing apps, digitally delivering needed services and scaling existing services to handle exponentially higher demand — all with a remote workforce,” said Ted Elliott, Chief Executive Officer of Copado. “Copado can offer the scale, security and experience in optimizing Salesforce deployments to even the most sophisticated government projects. Beyond our own industry-leading DevOps technology, we are partnering with the leaders in government technology and services to ensure the highest levels of success in these projects. Copado DevOps gives government agencies the confidence to move at the pace of today’s uncertain world.”

     

    Copado is also partnering with Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions ProviderⓇ, to streamline the procurement process. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Copado’s public sector distributor and make Copado DevOps available to government agencies as an AppExchange vendor for Salesforce’s Government Cloud through Carahsoft’s NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contracts and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint cooperative purchasing contract. The partnership is designed to help federal agencies modernize their Salesforce development cycles with a best-in-class DevOps solution.

     

    “Copado has experience working with large-scale government initiatives and can help any agency using Salesforce deliver their digital transformation project,” said Bethany Blackwell, Director of the Salesforce Team at Carahsoft. “With Copado, government development teams can align and collaborate around value delivery, gain visibility into the development lifecycle, identify and remove bottlenecks, and deliver more predictable, higher quality releases. We look forward to working with Copado and our reseller partners to optimize Salesforce deployments in government agencies.”

     

    As government agencies implement large-scale digital initiatives, Carahsoft’s technology and reseller partners offer a range of solutions that enable telework, support collaboration, ensure business continuity, and scale communications channels and security. Copado is the only solution for Salesforce delivery performance and management, all built natively on the Salesforce platform. Organizations rely on Copado to align people, processes and goals in order to quickly and confidently deliver digital customer experiences on the Salesforce platform.

    With COVID-19, every company in the world is facing a new economic reality to go digital. Today’s unpredictable environment is overwhelming delivery capacity. Delivery teams have an exponential impact on the ability to deliver business results, making DevOps a critical need in order to meet executive expectations on the speed, quality and visibility of their technology investments.

     

    “Salesforce is the platform for digital customer transformations and Copado is the DevOps engine for innovation delivery,” said Ted Elliott, chief executive officer of Copado. “Organizations relying on Salesforce as a cornerstone for their digital transformation projects need C-level visibility into the development lifecycle to understand how business goals are being addressed with technology. Copado is the only solution for Salesforce delivery performance and management, all built natively on the Salesforce platform. With Copado, organizations can now align people, process and goals to quickly and confidently deliver digital customer experiences on the Salesforce platform.”

     

    DevOps 360 Analytics
    Copado DevOps 360 Analytics, the first Salesforce DevOps analytics performance platform, delivers real-time visibility and analytics to any Salesforce project to optimize the planning, build and delivery of innovation. It brings together all the DevOps data from Salesforce into a collaborative DevOps platform that tracks the innovation delivery performance of a Salesforce project. With Copado DevOps 360, organizations can measure Salesforce ROI, accelerate release cycles, deliver safer releases, adapt to changing market conditions and align business goals with technology.

  • Copado Raises $26 Million to Accelerate the Delivery of Digital Transformation in the New Unpredictable World

    Demand for digital agility and visibility during uncertain times fuels the hyper growth of native Salesforce DevOps platform backed by international investment leaders

     

    Chicago – June 18, 2020 – Copado, a leading native DevOps platform for Salesforce, today announced $26 million in series B funding, bringing the total raised to $47 million. The financing was led by Insight Partners who also led Copado’s Series A round, with participation from existing investor Salesforce Ventures and new partners Lead Edge Capital, ISAI Cap Venture (Capgemini and ISAI joint fund), and Perpetual Investors. Copado will use the new funding to expand global distribution and accelerate product innovation, including its new DevOps analytics platform, DevOps 360.

     

    The impact of COVID-19, distributed virtual workforces and an unpredictable economy are forcing companies to adopt DevOps platforms to digitally transform their businesses. These seismic events have redefined executive expectations on the speed, quality and visibility their technology investments must deliver to enable rapid business pivots and effectively disrupt markets.

     

    Copado continues on an exponential growth trajectory. In the last year, the company more than doubled its revenue, tripled its headcount, expanded operations globally, and launched programs expected to train more than 10,000 Copado certified DevOps professionals in 2020. More than 500 market and brand leaders, including Amgen, Conga, Cox Communications, KUKA, Linde, Orange S.A., The Coca-Cola Company and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, trust Copado to deliver digital transformation projects on time with the highest levels of trust and quality.

     

    “Using DevOps to deliver high-quality software releases with speed and trust is more critical than ever as companies adjust to a COVID world,” said Nikitas Koutoupes, Managing Director at Insight Partners and Copado board member. “Remote work and digital customer engagement are the new normal. DevOps helps delivery teams increase release velocity and quality to support new digital strategies. By bringing those tools to Salesforce — the #1 customer relationship platform — Copado is fast becoming a must-have technology for any company looking to meet the demands of accelerated digital transformation. We are excited to continue our partnership with the Copado team as they scale to deliver the in-demand tools and training for the fourth industrial revolution.”

     

    “We are thrilled to strengthen our relationship with Copado and look forward to helping accelerate its growth,” said Terence Goudriaan, Head of the Digital Customer Experience practice in Europe at Capgemini. “Copado’s ability to provide a consistent development and deployment process and being the single source of truth for delivery, combined with Capgemini’s expertise in managing complex digital transformation programs is a strong assurance for client success.”

     

    Copado is redefining how to measure success on the Salesforce platform with its data-driven approach to delivering faster, higher quality releases and improving trust across customer transformation projects. As Salesforce continues to lead the market in digital transformation, the technical sophistication and the size of the delivery teams continues to grow exponentially resulting in the need for a more disciplined delivery process based on DevOps best practices. Organizations that implement DevOps best practices have been shown to deploy more often, fail less often and recover faster.

     

    “We are building a foundation for growth based on real customer pain points that we can successfully solve for nearly any Salesforce implementation,” said Ted Elliott, Chief Executive Officer for Copado. “It is a critical time for businesses in every industry. They need the native tools, the right staff, the intelligent analytics and the key performance metrics to optimize their digital transformation projects. Copado offers the complete package to successfully implement a digital go-to-market strategy for any company.”
