Sam Covington, IVC Business Systems: We had an in-house "Actor" system that we replaced with Akka.Net, which allowed us to innovate and be productive elsewhere, and not reinvent the wheel(not to mention test it to death). This back end of Microservices forms the basis of all of our products and services. We're using it in our Enterprise Social Product, and our new Livescan Office product for Livescan fingerprinting customers.
