The Challenge

  • Tool Enablement & Adoption Hurdles
    The client required expert support in enabling IDz IDE as part of their modernization roadmap, which involved proper setup, subsystem integration, and developer readiness.
  • Training Needs Across Global Teams
    Their internal development teams had minimal exposure to modern IDEs and needed structured training to fully utilize IDz features.
  • Modernization Goal Tracking
    The client had committed to specific modernization milestones, which included tool adoption, productivity measurement, and developer enablement—all of which required precise execution and accountability.
