Case Study: AlterPoint speeds development and cuts costs with ActiveState's ActivePerl

AlterPoint - Customer Case Study

AlterPoint builds automated network management tools for large enterprises and embraces open source in a hybrid model, but faced a practical challenge: they needed an industry-standard, quality-assured Perl distribution that worked across all supported platforms and removed the time-consuming work of finding, packaging and testing Perl modules for each release.

They integrated ActiveState’s ActivePerl into their NetworkAuthority product, giving them a fully tested, multi-platform Perl out of the box. As a result every AlterPoint customer ships with ActivePerl, the team saved up to 24 developer and QA days per year, experienced no technical issues with the distribution, and gained expert support and IP indemnification through ActiveState’s OEM licensing.
