Case Study: John Deere achieves next-generation farm management and seamless in-cab-to-desktop data integration with Coherent Solutions

When John Deere needed to upgrade their flagship farm management software system, they chose Coherent Solutions

John Deere needed to upgrade its flagship farm management software—adding enhanced in‑cab displays with embedded field‑management software, high‑performance embedded recorders for real‑time implement data, and a suite of desktop applications—while facing technical hurdles like a new embedded OS, new desktop architectures, heavy XML use, legacy format support, and the need to balance openness with proprietary competitiveness. To meet this challenge they engaged Coherent Solutions for software development and systems architecture support.

Coherent Solutions combined on‑site and offshore software development and expertise in requirements analysis, embedded development, enterprise architecture, XML, security, integration, and GIS to build a robust farm management application framework. In two years Coherent Solutions delivered cost‑effective, on‑schedule components that enable data transfer between in‑cab and desktop systems, are open to partners and vendors, maintain backwards compatibility with legacy formats, and are now entering trial deployments with selected John Deere AMS partners.
