Deploy once, deliver everywhere: Save big by shipping faster
Orgs saw $488k in quantifiable benefits by shipping code more efficiently with Vercel’s Frontend Cloud.
Developer workflows for shipping code can be time-consuming and error-prone. Long build and deploy times and change failure rates are common woes that affect your team’s day-to-day productivity and impact your organization’s bottom line.
But what’s the quantifiable ROI on improving these workflows?
According to a Jan 2024 commissioned study from Forrester Consulting, by migrating to Vercel, businesses saw $9.53M in quantifiable benefits, $488k of which can be attributed to code deployment efficiencies with Vercel’s Frontend Cloud.
Your deployment process is hindering innovation: Spend 94% less time on code deployments
To calculate these financial models, Forrester took a multistep approach to evaluating Vercel’s impact. This included interviews with real Vercel customers to gather data on benefits, costs, and risks. From this, they created a composite organization based on the interviewed companies that deployed Vercel’s Frontend Cloud.
Before adopting Vercel, the development teams at composite organizations spent a significant portion of their time:
- Deploying code to production—with lengthy timelines.
- Fixing failed releases.
Developers definitely seem happy with the build times alone. They’re just delighted with how quickly they can get their code deployed out.
