Automated systems for measurement and analysis are not adopted on a large scale in
companies, despite the opportunities they offer. The fear of the ldquobig brotherrdquo 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.
