CA Flowdock channels big data and accelerates team processes

 

In cycling today, racing is not just a meter-by-meter dispute between bicycles driven by men, but also a true sprint to arrive at the technology that best optimizes the efforts of the entire team. Trek-Segafredo, one of the world's top cycling teams, has taken the lead with the CA Flowdock, an innovation born out of its partnership with CA Technologies.
 
In order to understand the importance of the CA Flowdock for Trek-Segafredo, which has champion Fabian Cancellara on its team, it is necessary to understand that the routine of a top cycling team in the world generates a huge volume of messages and feedback between athletes , engineers and mechanics spread across the globe, becoming a precious source of information to “boost” the performance of teams and make improvements to equipment. 
 
Silver medalist in Rio defending the colors of Australia, fellow member of the team Jack Bobridge uses CA Flowdock both on his phone and on his personal computer and, despite the experience with the platform being recent, he already feels the difference in his work routine , especially when it comes to the speed of support from the development team. “It's easier to interact with the whole team when we're on the road, because we can make suggestions by sharing all kinds of files in just one system instead of looking for each item in emails, SMS and other messages”, explains Bobridge.
 
CA Flowdock arrives as a technology that captures all this volume of conversation and allows innovations to be made much faster. “Our solutions are aimed at agile and collaborative project management and product development, so they are prepared to support the dynamism and speed of route changes that business demands these days”, explains Francisco Dal Fabbro, vice president of CA Technologies Agile Management Solution Sales for Latin America.
 
For Joe Vadeboncoeur, Vice President of Trek, CA Technologies' track record of helping companies succeed in the App Economy makes it the ideal technology partner. “For a company the size of CA to enter the professional cycling scene is huge for the sport. It will allow us to work as an even more productive and unified team.”
