挑战
Board meetings are a chance to review company performance, measure KPIs and set strategy. They are vital for addressing issues affecting growth and help bring the future of a company to light. In turn, they also require weeks of preparation pulling together and analyzing information from different departments often through lengthy cycles and disconnected data. Gem’s hypergrowth trajectory meant that sales, finance, and the board needed to be in sync often so the business could continue to scale quickly. The challenge was making sure the effort to keep everyone in sync didn’t derail their focus. Every quarter, Gem’s finance and sales org (like so many others) would lock down in a war room for two weeks to prepare their board materials. While critical to their success, this process became a repetitive, time-consuming task, stealing focus and capacity away from forward-looking initiatives to help the business grow. Gem needed a way to generate faster insights to reduce the time it took to create board materials. They also wanted a way to come out of the board meeting with fewer questions and more on-the-spot answers not possible via spreadsheets, so they could absorb the strategic value of live feedback.

解决方案
The first step in accelerating their board prep planning process was ensuring the data across sales and finance was easily accessible from one central location. With Mosaics’ effortless ETL capability, Gem was able to connect their Netsuite and Salesforce data without the pain of data wrangling and copy-paste errors. This shaved off hours of manual work and gave them the ability to access cross-departmental insights with a few clicks, not across tabs and tools. The second step was automating the GTM analytics the board needed to make decisions, such as retention, new business, and CAC. The finance team was consolidating, analyzing, and cross-checking changes, then designing slides through a painstaking process prior to each session. With the help of Mosaic’s analysis canvas—a collaborative, real-time data manipulation and visualization tool—the Gem team was able to automatically generate the insights they wanted to present to the board so they could focus on the story behind the numbers. With the above in place, sales and finance could confidently answer on-the-spot questions. Last-minute inquiries (like changes in the Sales pipeline) could be refreshed in real-time and insights could be discussed during the session helping stakeholders make better decisions.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
