Case Study Highlights

  • Company: Dancerace
  • Industry: ISV in the banking and financial services sector
  • Challenge: As the Dancerace development team started to diversify their technology landscape adding open source tools such as Git, Jenkins and Jira, a clear ’cultural divide’ began to appear. Software development was clearly easier in the ‘new world’ with modern tooling.
  • Solutions: ARCAD for DevOps
With ARCAD for DevOps, we have automated an enterprise-grade CI/CD pipeline for RPG based on Git and Jenkins and massively improved our responsiveness to user demands.
