挑战
More than 75,000 IT executives and professionals in Canada rely on IT World Canada’s technology information. As the Canadian affiliate of International Data Group (IDG), the world’s largest IT information provider, IT World Canada is the leading Canadian online multimedia information provider.\n\nIT World Canada prides itself on knowing its readers’ interests and information requirements in order to be the trusted provider of targeted, focused content they seek. A large part of IT World Canada’s business is producing and managing hundreds of marketing campaigns per year for a wide variety of external clients who target different audience segments with different offers.\n\nIt is critical, from a customer satisfaction perspective, to constantly monitor all of their clients’ campaigns to ensure the high-quality leads coming from registrations are delivered to every client on time. To that end, project managers want to know the status of every campaign at a moment’s notice, what departments are currently working on which campaigns, and which campaigns need to be prioritized to reach the client’s promised delivery end-date and target goals.\n\nTo be successful, project managers needed more in-depth insight into all their live campaigns collecting registrations and campaigns soon-to-be-launched. Because IT World Canada conducts strict quality control procedures and they only provide top-quality leads to their clients, campaign managers needed to have a better view into how many leads were in the queue and how far along the leads were in the qualification process.\n\nOther challenges IT World Canada faced included clients requiring individualized formatting for their leads reports to align with their CRM system configuration. As well, campaign managers and staff needed a convenient way to easily access the different software tools and files used in managing each individual campaign.

解决方案
IT World Canada has selected Informer to help them manage all their campaigns and deliver all contracted registrations on time. They use Informer for report generation, decision support, and business process management. Informer’s Dataset enables them to consolidate the different campaign Datasources while Dashboards provide up-to-the-minute reporting and act as a hub to link all the different software tools used to the individual campaigns for easy access.\n\nUsing Informer, IT World Canada now produces an invaluable overview of all the campaigns they are running for clients, so they easily see the status of all campaigns and which ones need immediate attention. Using Informer’s Dashboards, IT World Canada set up a Campaign Monitor for campaign managers to know the status of each campaign and exactly where they should prioritize their resources to ensure the success of every campaign. This enabled them to eliminate wasted time in non-critical areas. They do this by monitoring the health status of the different client campaigns — both live and soon-to-be-launched — and make changes from the Dashboard as necessary.\n\nWith the Dashboards providing near real-time statistics for new registrations, Campaign Managers can see whether they’re on track, how many registrations are required, how close the campaign is to its deadline, and where they need to focus their attention. The Campaign Monitor also shows Campaign Managers what departments are currently working on which campaigns and their associated tasks outstanding. As well, the Campaign Monitor makes it easier for Campaign Managers to manage campaigns by acting as a central hub that not only provides status reporting but access to all the software tools used to manage each campaign.

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.
