Case Study: Metrolab achieves streamlined version control and greater development efficiency with Perforce Helix Core

Metrolab - Customer Case Study

Metrolab, a Geneva-based manufacturer of precision instruments for measuring high-intensity magnetic fields, was struggling with CVS-based version control that made branching, merging, and coordinating multiple developers difficult. The company also lacked visibility into active projects and needed better integration with tools like Eclipse and LabVIEW, leading it to choose Perforce Helix Core.

Perforce implemented Helix with streams, centralized version control, and integrations for Eclipse, Visual Studio, and LabVIEW, along with migration support from CVS. Metrolab’s team became productive within days, quality improved, repository structure was optimized, and the company reported no more time wasted working around version control—saving significant time and expense.
