"The Java Team stepped in and took the lead in bringing our quality issues under control."
Client Case Study: Commercial Grade Development Process
Our client had established a commercial software product development process using inhouse project management paradigm.

A non-repeatable, ill-defined, manual, error prone and time consuming release process was costing our client dearly in terms of lost time, revenue at risk and, most importantly, reputation.

The long term impact of 'non-quantifiable' requirements of commercial grade software development was not yet evident: source control management and a well-defined, repeatable, efficient and automated process for build, package, deploy, test and release.

Customized customer-based behavior was achieved by making code changes to stable, foundational code components.
