Forbes - FICO Proves The Mainstream OpenStack Adoption Point
FICO came to the realization that, since its value was really contained in the intellectual property encapsulated in its software, it needed to transition to a more services-based model... FICO looked at the option of proprietary cloud solutions, but simply couldn't get the economics to work—it is, after all, looking to lower barriers to entry and hence pricing is critical. FICO quickly looked at OpenStack as its core infrastructure solution and began to assess vendors... Eventually FICO settled on a stack that included Red Hat as its OpenStack vendor, Red Hat's OpenShift as its Platform as a Service (PaaS) high-flying SolidFire for Tier 1 and Ceph for its Tier 2 and 3 needs... FICO is now broadening this initiative from customer-facing requirements to corporate data center ones. The performance, costs, and flexibility gains that it has seen are attractive and FICO wants to move forward.

Computing - Enterprise mobility brings Network Rail agility 'never before conceived to be possible'
Network Rail has transformed the way it operates by rolling out an agile, mobile-focused strategy that has allowed the organisation to do things it would not have previously thought possible... The firm has now gone so far as to roll out the use of Internet of Things-connected devices across its systems... The new, mobile way of working has also enabled Network Rail to allow business users to respond much more quickly to problems, such as severe weather affecting train routes and timetables."During last year when there was major disruption caused by storms and flooding, they needed to conceive, build and release a mobile application within hours," [Joe] Blake [of FeedHenry by Red Hat] told the Computing Summit audience. "Network Rail was able to build and roll out an application that enabled its end users to receive real-time information about the location of the most severe problems, to collect mission-critical data associated with high-priority issues... They can rollout that solution in a couple of hours, no code required." Ultimately, the deployment of a fully fledged enterprise mobility strategy has "massively improved Network Rail's ability to deal with crisis, focus their resources where they are needed most, and to keep and maintain the highest level of service possible."
