Erlang eXchange 2008: Nicholas Gunder & Torben Hoffman on Introducing Erlang to Motorola: The Journey to Success
Introducing Erlang to Motorola: The Journey to Success
Nicholas will explain how two engineers in Motorola were able to persuade top management to move Erlang out of the labs and into real telecommunications projects. First looking at the initial ideas and reasoning for using Erlang inside of Motorola, this presentation will then dive deaper into some of the organisational and technological issues associated with deploying a new development language in a large company. Two projects will be highlighted, each were used as powerful case studies to convince people to see Erlang as an enabler to higher productivity and better quality. The nature of our systems as concurrent, real time and distributed beasts will also be covered and how this matches up with the strengths of Erlang/OTP.
