Challenges

High update risk prevents innovation

  • Production downtime necessary for updates
  • Therefore only during production holidays possible
  • Complex, critical adjustments jeopardize production stability

Solution

Continuous integration during running production

  • Connectware enables continuous integration (CI/CD) through infrastructure as code
  • Small, regular configuration updates instead of major changes
  • Minimised risk and rapid implementation and innovation
