挑战
Before Barracuda, Michel used a tape-drive system with Symantec Backup Exec for his backup needs. The interface was difficult and it didn’t have the cloud storage they wanted. Frustrated with Symantec, he got a recommendation from a colleague, and switched to Barracuda. The difference was night and day. Installation was easy and it works right out of the box. Michel restores documents about once a month, and it takes less than 10 minutes each time. There is no longer any fear of accidental data loss or application corruption at Paul, Plevin with Barracuda in place. He was impressed that Barracuda Backup 490 requires no day-to-day maintenance. The Barracuda Backup 490 also runs Barracuda’s patented inline deduplication, which lowers the amount of space used for storage. In Paul, Plevin’s case, their storage needs are reduced by over 50%. That saves them time, money, and bandwidth.

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
PureFluent, a translation services company, was facing challenges in managing its translation and document review processes. The company often received files in uneditable formats from customers, which required staff members to transfer text to word processing or spreadsheet documents. During the translation process, maintaining version control was a challenge because PureFluent sent work to hundreds of translators in multiple geographic locations. It was also time-consuming for staff to manage the large volume of emails and FTP transactions required to submit translations for customer review and ensure the integration of requested changes. Furthermore, staff were spending significant time hunting through their emails for specific attachments.
