挑战
eHarmony needed to enhance its customer engagement and marketing analysis capabilities to improve user experience and drive business growth. The company required a solution that would allow executives to monitor key performance metrics on-the-go, enabling timely decision-making. Additionally, eHarmony sought to understand how website visitors interacted with their sites, analyze prevalent trends, and identify what drives visitors to subscribe. This necessitated a reliable platform that could provide actionable and near real-time information from a multi-terabyte data warehouse.

eHarmony selected MicroStrategy for its intuitive user interface, powerful analytics, and flexibility to slice and dice data across multiple dimensions. The MicroStrategy-based application provides eHarmony with user-friendly reports, scorecards, dashboards, and an intuitive mobile application. This enables the analysis of customer satisfaction, marketing initiatives, and new product features to drive business growth. MicroStrategy's platform allows eHarmony managers and analysts to access actionable and near real-time information from a multi-terabyte data warehouse. The company also utilized Intelligent Cubes and caching to decrease execution time for dashboards and reports to just seconds. To further enhance their capabilities, eHarmony initiated a mobile BI project with the help of MicroStrategy's Mobile QuickStrike consulting engagement. This engagement helped eHarmony storyboard, develop, and support a new iPhone app tailored to their business requirements. The app allows C-level executives, directors, and managers to track site trends and improve user experience on-the-go.

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.
