About The Customer
Dr. Jessica Rudman is a modern composer who writes music for choral, opera, chamber, band, and orchestral ensembles. Her work is characterized by a unique approach to melody, harmony, and color, and she often pushes the boundaries of harmonic structure. Rudman's operatic work covers themes such as domestic violence and navigating a male-dominated career. She collaborates closely with the directors of the ensembles she writes for, understanding the skill level of the players, their preferences, and their strengths. Rudman also teaches music composition through the Hartt School Community Division, which provides courses for students of any age and experience.
The Challenge
In the modern music industry, composers are required to be highly adaptable, creating music for a variety of ensembles and performers with varying skills. They often need to repurpose their music for different situations, which can be a challenging task. Dr. Jessica Rudman, a modern composer, faced this challenge as she created music for choral, opera, chamber, band, and orchestral ensembles. She needed to adapt her unique approach to melody, harmony, and color to suit different types of ensembles and players. Additionally, she had to work closely with the directors of the ensembles, understanding the skill level of the players, their preferences, and their strengths. This required a music notation software that could easily adapt to changes mid-composing, ensuring that the score and parts match perfectly.
The Solution
Sibelius Ultimate was the solution to Rudman's challenge. It provided her with the tools to create music and publish parts at a pace consistent with her rehearsals and performance schedule. The software allowed her to create music for a variety of ensembles and players with different backgrounds. It also enabled her to make significant changes during the composing process, such as adding or removing parts for members of the ensemble. Sibelius Ultimate's multi-edit selections feature allowed Rudman to quickly change parts and revise complex passages, ensuring that the score and parts remained identical. The software also made it easy to create different versions of a score, which was particularly useful for opera, where composers often need to create a piano version of the score for rehearsal purposes, in addition to their orchestrated version. Furthermore, Sibelius Ultimate's playback feature and its ability to integrate with Pro Tools were helpful in rehearsals.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
