Value results
| Category | Value result |

| Productivity | Fewer stalled items because infrastructure as code has a clear owner |
| Productivity | Handoffs in environment provisioning sit in a shared queue instead of a mailbox trail |
| Capability | New joiners can see how environment provisioning actually runs |
Story
Thomson Reuters grew infrastructure as code faster than the local tools around it. From Canada, industrials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Platform engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Terraform put environment provisioning on HashiCorp. HashiCorp (an IBM company) provides infrastructure automation software, including Terraform and Vault, for cloud provisioning and secrets. Thomson Reuters keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so platform engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier environment provisioning. Infrastructure as code is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join platform engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
