Case Study: MEDENT achieves 20x faster builds with Incredibuild

MEDENT rapidly speeds up development, raising quality and accelerating access to medical records plummeting build time by 20x

MEDENT, a Cloud or Server‑based EMR/EHR and practice management platform developed by Community Computer Service, faced slow builds as its Visual C++ codebase exceeded a million lines. Their 25‑developer team using Visual Studio saw frequent incremental and full builds slow development and feature delivery, so they explored distributed compiling and turned to Incredibuild to address the bottleneck.

By implementing Incredibuild’s distributed build acceleration on the latest Windows and Visual Studio, MEDENT cut full rebuilds from about 17.6 minutes to 0.7 minutes — a >20x speedup and a 96% improvement. The faster builds (each agent using four cores) let developers run multiple daily rebuilds, boosting productivity and freeing time for bug fixes and new feature work.
