About The Customer
AmberPoint is a company that provides the world's most widely distributed and implemented solutions for governing and managing composite applications. Utilizing a policy-based approach to manage the health and well-being of services-based systems, AmberPoint enables its enterprise customers to better understand system behavior, manage each transaction flowing across their distributed environments, and implement policies that automate performance management, remedy exceptional conditions, and uphold security. The company’s customers are enterprises, government agencies and leading software companies who run high-transaction systems, many of which are mission-critical and high-value. They turn to AmberPoint for reliable, comprehensive solutions for runtime governance of their composite applications.
The Challenge
AmberPoint provides solutions for governing and managing composite applications for enterprises, government agencies, and leading software companies. These clients run high-transaction systems, many of which are mission-critical and high-value. They rely on AmberPoint for reliable, comprehensive solutions for runtime governance of their composite applications. However, AmberPoint faced a decision about the data presentation layer of its service level agreement management function. The requirements called for Web-based information access for ad hoc reporting needs and formatted PDF report distribution for standardized uptime reports. If an OEM solution were to be selected, it needed to offer the flexibility of control that an internally developed one would have offered. AmberPoint sought to avoid limitations in an API that would impede the ongoing development of new core application features and their related information reporting needs. Lastly, the technology needed to be easy enough to implement and deploy that attendant costly consulting services could be avoided.
The Solution
AmberPoint started its research with analyst reports of vendors in the business intelligence space, and then narrowed the field to a handful of providers to evaluate technically. In the end the company selected InetSoft’s Style Report Enterprise application, the publishing product in Style Intelligence, InetSoft’s complete business intelligence platform. Style Report Enterprise’s focus on reporting and data access which results in a light-weight embeddable application differentiated it from bulkier all-inclusive business intelligence solutions. Another key differentiator was InetSoft’s experience with developing an API that other developers depend on for embedding applications into their solutions. While InetSoft also offers full-featured stand-alone business intelligence applications, it stood out from others who focused more on the pre-packaged application and only offered a rudimentary API. Finally, with just basic training and extensive API documentation, AmberPoint was able to rapidly learn how to code with an API familiar to all JavaScript developers.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
