CI/CD: Expand Resourcing at Scale
THE CHALLENGE
A manufacturer of high-tech farm equipment is growing its software team. The goal is to help develop products with integrated data-gathering and communications systems that can support the precision farming needs of the future.
The manufacturer is located in a small city and has traditionally recruited from the local university. Lately it is struggling to hire new software developers and is seeing high attrition rates within the existing team. One reason is that its software development environment, more than a decade old, is now considered primitive and difficult to use. This makes the available software developer positions unattractive to prospective candidates.
THE SOLUTION
Wind River® Studio’s cloud-based environment allows software teams to on- board new developers in minutes, making them productive right away.
Application development can be handled through the popular Microsoft® Visual Studio Code environment.
Further, Studio’s cloud-native workflows will be familiar to many new software developers, so they can become productive quickly.
THE RESULTS
Software engineering talent is difficult to attract and retain, and organizations want to be competitive when hiring. Being able to support modern practices such as CI/CD for embedded software development is one way to retain and attract talent — and help the business’s bottom line.
