About The Customer
The customer in this case is any enterprise that is grappling with the challenges of managing software complexity. These enterprises need to implement modern development practices at scale, while also ensuring governance and compliance. They may have multiple codebases of varying complexity and need to maintain visibility and traceability in all their processes and operations. They also need to support change-based development and control all 'in progress' changes across their entire development organization. These enterprises may also be using integrated development environments like Eclipse, Visual Studio, and IntelliJ, and may be using Git and Jenkins in their development processes.
The Challenge
In the modern software development landscape, managing complexity is a significant challenge. Enterprises are grappling with the need to implement modern development practices at scale, while also ensuring governance and compliance. The situation is further complicated by the need to support multiple codebases, regardless of their simplicity or complexity. Additionally, there is a need for visibility and traceability in all processes and operations. This is crucial for maintaining a strong, traceable audit trail, which is a key requirement for compliance and governance. Furthermore, the need to support change-based development and control all 'in progress' changes across the entire development organization adds another layer of complexity.
The Solution
AccuRev, a product by OpenText, offers a solution to these challenges. It provides the necessary governance and compliance capabilities to manage software complexity. One of its key features is TimeSafe, which guarantees the reproducibility of the source base and enables a strong, traceable audit trail. This ensures visibility and traceability in all processes and operations. AccuRev also supports multiple codebases, no matter how simple or complex. It supports change-based development through Change Packages, which guarantee which stories, issues, and defects are in a release. The 'change asset' is traceable throughout the entire software delivery lifecycle. AccuRev also allows for dynamic control of all 'in progress' changes for the entire development organization by graphically modelling the development process. Additional features include IDE Integration with Eclipse, Visual Studio, and IntelliJ integrated development environments, GitCentric which allows Git use without compromising any enterprise standards or governance, and DevOps integration with Jenkins, a popular build tool for developers, release managers, and Agile shops.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Retail Uses RFID to Enable Cold Chain Monitoring
Like most grocery retailers, Hy-Vee is faced with the challenge of providing the highest quality products to its shoppers. Shoppers want the longest possible shelf life from perishable products and expect a consistent product experience each time they shop. Controlling the quality of products sold leads to shopper loyalty, which is of paramount importance to the success of Hy-Vee. Before products arrive in stores, Hy-Vee's distribution centers (DCs) handle items including dairy products, fresh meats, seafood, deli items, produce and frozen goods, all of which have different temperature needs and sensitivities. During transit from suppliers to DCs, Hy-Vee has limited visibility and temperature management abilities due to large amount of supplier managed transportation. For instance, during a week-long transit, a supplier's carrier equipment may malfunction, causing an item to thaw and then refreeze once repairs are made. Hy-Vee sought help from TempTRIP, an RFID solution provider that focuses on shipping, storage, receiving, and temperature control. TempTRIP's EPC RFID tags use Impinj chips to monitor and report temperature readings throughout the shipping and receiving process. The tags can also be re-configured and re-used, a unique feature within the current market of temperature monitoring devices.
