Convincing industry to use Erlang

[Clara Benac Earle]

Hi all,

I am currently involved in a proposal for a project with some companies 
in Spain. They want to develop an intelligent system for controlling 
street lighting.

Has anybody experience in this or in a similar kind of system? We would 
like to convince them to use Erlang. Any successful industrial stories 
with data (good performance, rapid development, etc.) compared to 
traditional programming languages that we could use?

Thanks in advance
Clara
