挑战
EverQuote, a large online marketplace for insurance, was facing challenges with its in-house custom OLAP solution. The system, which was over ten years old, had several bottlenecks that prevented many use cases and suffered from poor query performance. As the company grew, it also found it difficult to scale self-service analytics to non-technical employees. The company needed a modern data architecture that could democratize data analytics for all.
关于客户
EverQuote is one of the largest online marketplaces for insurance. The company empowers customers to better protect their most important assets, such as their family, property, or future. Through the use of data and technology, EverQuote aims to be a trusted source for simple, affordable, and personalized insurance policies. The company was a spinoff from Cogo Labs, a technology-driven venture accelerator, and had a data architecture consisting of a MySQL cluster, Python services, a direct connection to Excel, and a custom OLAP interface.
解决方案
EverQuote decided to shift from its in-house OLAP solution to Snowflake’s cloud data platform using AtScale. With AtScale’s Semantic Layer, EverQuote was able to transition its analytics workloads to Snowflake without impacting the existing business user experience. The semantic layer now enables the business team to access data stored on Snowflake within Tableau, Excel, and many other business analytics and visualization tools. Through AtScale’s semantic modeling capabilities, EverQuote is able to flexibly add new metrics and data definitions that provide consistency across consumption tools. Data virtualization also makes it easier to onboard new data quickly so that it can be queried from BI tools almost immediately.

Direct Marketing Solution
Marketing to prospects (direct mail, telemarketing, and email) is expensive. Targeting incorrectly can hurt your brand, leaving prospects feeling spammed. Traditional techniques are not very sophisticated, resulting in low response rates which in turn leads to high cost-per-lead/acquisition numbers.

Nitrio's Transition to ML-Powered Intent Extraction for Advanced Sales Strategies
Nitrio, an AI company specializing in sales optimization, was facing significant challenges with its Natural Language Processing (NLP) platform. The platform relied heavily on manual rules and heuristics-based models, which led to bottlenecks and scalability issues, hindering Nitrio's growth. The existing platform was unable to ensure the required level of accuracy for sentiment analysis of rep-to-lead messages, resulting in a significant number of messages being outsourced to a third party for manual analysis. This not only increased service costs but also created further bottlenecks and scalability issues. The platform's infrastructure demonstrated tight coupling between services, increasing their dependencies and negatively impacting team performance, causing data quality and consistency issues. Nitrio's platform was designed to efficiently analyze inbound rep-to-lead messages to extract their intent and collect useful data about every sales representative's performance. However, the reliance on manual processes and the inability to ensure 95% certainty in message intent identification were major setbacks.

Lionbridge's Gengo Solution: Enabling Global Communication for a Tech Giant
The customer, a global tech giant, was facing a significant challenge in communicating with its users worldwide. The company supports millions of people around the globe, and it was crucial for them to be available at any time, in any language, and for every challenge. The users demanded a personalized experience, and language was a key aspect of this personalization. The users wrote emails in various languages from different time zones to request support, answers, and advice for the products supported by the customer. Initially, the customer used a Machine Translation (MT) solution to translate the content into English. Agents would then write a response in English, using MT to send a message back to the users. However, the MT solution was unable to produce high-quality responses due to the complex nature of the customer's services.

Big Four Consulting Firm Leverages NLP for Efficient Auditing with Snorkel Flow
A globally renowned consulting firm, with a history spanning over a century, was seeking to enhance its auditing capabilities by leveraging artificial intelligence. The firm's reputation hinged on its ability to conduct thorough audits, irrespective of their size, complexity, or location. The firm's experts were spending significant time manually reviewing various accounting, auditing, and industry information, a process that was both time-consuming and costly. The firm estimated that each auditor search lasted 10 minutes and cost $50-60 on average. The firm's data science team was tasked with streamlining news monitoring to anticipate changes in capital markets, regulatory trends, or technological innovation. They aimed to use custom NLP models to automatically analyze, categorize, and extract key client information from various sources. However, they faced challenges in labeling training data for the machine learning algorithms. It took three experts a week to label 500 training data points, and they found it nearly impossible to adapt to changes in data or business goals on the fly.
