BURTON SOFTWARE/ICICLE

Icicle is a cloud-based software system that enables food-related companies to develop and maintain HACCP food safety plans and undertake inspections in order to ensure safe products. It is designed for use by business involved in any aspect of food or food-related industries that require food safety plans or inspections. Icicle supports data acquisition and automatically generates food safety plans at the click of a button. Changes to individual ingredients, materials, processes or packaging are automatically propagated throughout the system, insuring that generated plans are current and fully synchronized across many product lines produced at multiple plants. Icicle assures transparency and accountability by enabling inspections to be designed and recorded electronically by in-house personnel, consultants, second or third-party auditing groups. It extends the traditional food safety paradigm by enabling other types of certifications, such as kosher and organic to be managed from within the same system.

Upcoming Events

  • Live from DevTeach Montreal (LIVE, December 10, 6:30pm ET) - Howard Dierking from Microsoft Corp. keynotes DevTeach - Beyond VMs: From Saving Money to Adding Value. Of course everyone wants to save money – right? But how true is this in practice  when it comes to cloud computing? And more importantly, if the cloud is little  more than a bunch of rented virtual machines hosted by someone else, are you  actually saving money? At the end of the day, business exists not to save money,  but to make it, and if you're going to invest in the cloud, you should expect it  to help you make money. Put another way, the cloud should be about adding value,  not simply reducing costs. Come learn how Windows Azure makes the cloud into  something that helps you reach more clients, gain deeper business insights,  and yea, even save some money in the process.
  • Office and SharePoint DevCamp (LIVE, December 14, 8:00am ET) - Covering topics such as building apps for Office, SharePoint, and Office 365 using web technologies you already know and leveraging the new Cloud app model, and more.

Stories teach us and fire our imaginations to what is possible in this world. And as adults, we're not much different. It's one thing to hear about a process, product or idea, but hearing the story of the trials and triumphs that accompanied the implementation of that process, product or idea is what sticks with us and gives our imagination flight as to the possibilities within our own situation.

Case studies are like stories and there are a whole host of them that Microsoft has put together on a variety of technologies and solutions. There are 79 just on private cloud implementations and a number on Windows Azure have been highlighted on the Windows Azure site. However, there is nothing quite like hearing the story right from the author, or in this case, right from one of the people in the story.

In July, Mary Jo Foley was on the show and talked about Microsoft's cloud offerings from an industry perspective. For our next show, we thought it would be interesting to talk to a few folks who have actually been working on cloud solutions using Microsoft technologies either internally or for their customers. Hosts Jonathan Rozenblit and Ruth Morton chat with Bruce Johnson and John White about public and private cloud implementations they've done for their companies and for their clients. They also share stories of the barriers they had to overcome and the successes they enjoyed.
