"ThoughtWorks is really innovating in the agile database space with tools like DBDeploy, practices like database refactoring, and discipline for good design and testing of databases." Pramodkumar Sadalage, Refactoring Databases

"JRuby makes total sense for ThoughtWorks - combining the power of Java and Ruby gives us the best of both worlds." Ola Bini, jRuby core developer.

We've envisioned, designed and delivered complex, high-performance database solutions across a wide range of industries:

• A major bank has seen a reduction from 2 billion rows to about 15 rows for each customer record
• The UK's leading electronics retailer is processing 15 transactions per second from 1300 point of sale systems
• For a major insurance company, the processing time for calculating Personal Rate of Return on 140 million accounts was reduced from 7 days to just 3 hours.

ThoughtWorks has played a key role in bringing Ruby to the Enterprise for a number of industry leaders:

• An internet telephony company created a rich user experience integrating seamlessly with a numerous complex legacy systems. The use of a Business Natural Language allowed non-technical client personnel at a Major Credit Card Company to define and write complex business rules in the language they use every day, saving time and money throughout the development process.
• An automobile auction site with all the complexities of data synchronization, concurrency, and race conditions required specialized testing in order to keep pace with the team's development practices. Custom testing tools ensured the AJAX rich front end and industrial-strength back end ran smoothly.
• Behavior Driven Development (BDD) with RSPec, utilizing ThoughtWorks' Selenium and indexing with Apache Solr were all key in delivering a rich front end application and a powerful content management system for a major media company. The application serves up millions of page requests per month.
• With a fixed timeframe and no room for error, a leading managed hosting provider hired ThoughtWorks based upon our renowned Ruby capabilities. The complex domain called for complex testing, and fast build up and tear down of databases kept testing an integral part of the development.

Give us a call to talk about where you Want to take your business and what role a partnership with ThoughtWorks can play in getting there.
