SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA – May 21, 2019 – CloudBees , the enterprise DevOps leader powering the continuous economy, today announced that it has secured a $10 million capital investment from HSBC , one of the world’s largest banking and financial services organizations.

HSBC currently uses CloudBees Core platform technologies to accelerate its overall software delivery system. HSBC said the investment in CloudBees underscores the importance of DevOps in the bank’s business and technology future.
“We invest in technologies which are strategically important to our business, and which help us serve our customers better,” said Dinesh Keswani, chief technology officer, Shared Services, HSBC. “The DevOps market is growing fast, as organizations like us drive automation, intelligence and security into the way we deliver software. CloudBees is already a strategic business partner of HSBC; we are excited by our investment and by the opportunity to be part of the story of continuous delivery.”
