Case Study: Scania achieves scalable, auditable software version control with Perforce P4

Scania manages 1.3TB of code and 1,000 daily change-lists with Perforce

Scania, a Swedish manufacturer of trucks, buses, and transport systems, faced significant challenges in managing its software development. As vehicles became more software-dependent, the company's use of multiple versioning tools like Subversion and IBM ClearCase made coordination difficult and prevented a single source of truth. Scania needed a unified, scalable solution to support its Agile and Continuous Delivery practices and ensure compliance with industry regulations. They chose the Perforce P4 versioning platform to address these pain points.

Perforce implemented its P4 solution to create a centralized Common Versioning Repository at the heart of Scania's development. This provided the scalability, integration capabilities, and high-volume version control required. The results include a 1.3TB repository used by 1,200 users who submit approximately 1,000 change-lists daily. Perforce P4 ensured all product versions are traceable and auditable for compliance, integrated seamlessly with minimal disruption, and created a strong foundation that supports Scania's rapid time to market.
