Carillion plc: Performance Testing Proves Technology Solution Is Failsafe

Overview Carillion plc is one of the UK's leading building, infrastructure and business services companies and employs over 50,000 people. The increase in the amount of work that Carillion was now conducting for the client meant that the IT system used to manage construction projects for claimants had to cope with a much greater capacity. AppLabs worked closely with Carillion's application experts to help understand and resolve the errors that had been found. This resulted in a new version of the system and a replacement of the incompatible software. Carillion then recommissioned AppLabs to repeat the performance tests in a staging environment at one of Carillion's offices.
