A national telecommunications company started to use Sonar with the PL/SQL plugin for the business logistics of their central CRM solution in order to improve the quality and maintainability of the code, as well as to reduce errors and to prevent them, respectively. In a small study, we analyzed the corresponding standard configuration regarding the relevance of the reported error classes for the approximately one million lines of PL/SQL source code and provided an improved configuration, so that the customer could decided concentrate on the important warnings.

We supported one of our customers in migrating a whole application landscape from a legacy Java EE environment to Oracle Weblogic. During the migration, we replaced the partly manual deployment process with a Jython- and WLST-based scripting framework. With one single command, all weblogic clusters and load balancers are built from scratch as part of a release. Additionally, the latest software artifacts are deployed. Thus deviations between environments and manual failures within the deployment could be eliminated and the deployment time was reduced to five minutes.

We conducted a two-day JIRA training course for a large internet provider. In part one, we demonstrated the use of JIRA and the Greenhopper plugin in projects working with Scrum and Kanban. We also brought in our own experience from several real projects. In part two we focussed on JIRA administration, especially on the technical configuration of projects. The configuration of Agile Boards in Greenhopper was explained, which allows to use customized processes on the taskboard.

During a two-day workshop, we advised one of our customers regarding the development of an online marketplace in PHP. We assessed the quality of a Java software system within the scope of a make-or-buy decision. We also gave recommendations regarding the architecture and further software packages.

The back end is implemented in Java EE with Spring/Hibernate and the front end with JavaScript/ExtJS 3.

We supported the Graduation Ceremony for Informatics at the Technical University Munich with the prize "Meister Coder" for the best Bachelor Thesis and donated a MacBook Air.

We assisted a German insurance company with the migration and implementation of its broker portal. Thereby, some of the existing applications were migrated to portlets and also new portlets with the functionality from various of the long standing applications were newly implemented. Basis of the new platform was the IBM Websphere portal server. Especially challenging was the optimization of the performance of the data import and database according to the requirements of the business departments.

We supported a medium-sized telecommunications carrier with the implementation of the order interface WITA (OSS v4.00) from Deutsche Telekom AG in order to book new access lines. By parallel operating the old ESAA-interface and the newly implemented WITA-OSS, we could gather valuable experiences with the behaviour of the new interface and embed the necessary administrative tools to adjust for non interface-conform behaviour. Thus we were able to activate almost all business cases on the first productive day of the new system. All further business cases supported by Deutsche Telekom were taken live within the first week without any restrictions. Thereby, our customer could reduce its costs and cycle times, as well as improve the monitoring significantly, as old fax- and semi-automated processes were replaced. During the whole implementation we profited by our high testing coverage and automation of deployment.

The large-scale scrum project of an automotive company that we have been supporting right from the start for more than one year was taken into production. Since then, almost no problems have occured, so that the teams did not even need the time that was planned for the support. During the whole project, we have supported the customer beginning as Scrum-Coach, following ScrumMaster and latest in the role of the ProductOwner.
