35 projects harmonized – QC 9.2Took total of 40 calendar daysDelivered as a serviceThe main drivers for the Harmonizer were the integration between PPM and QC, and a fragmented environment with several template versions and very different ways of working
Customer Case – TeliaSonera
Mats Nordenbäck from TeliaSonera MDE:
"Previously a minor upgrade took 3 hours of manual work for 10 projects and we could not deploy any bug fixes since it would have taken so much time“
"Now we have harmonized projects that are upgraded in seconds, up-to-date documentation and we are able to give our developers more time to concentrate on the essentials."
