Abstract

Automated systems for measurement and analysis are not adopted on a large scale in companies, despite the opportunities they offer. The fear of the “Big Brother” and the lack of reports giving insights into the real adoption process and concrete usages in industry are barriers to this adoption. We report on a case-study on the adoption and long-term usage (2 years of running system) of such a system in a company focusing on the adoption process and the related challenges we encountered.
