About The Customer
Bucap S.p.A. is a leading Italian company providing outsourced document archiving and management services to enterprises and public administrations for more than 30 years. Today, Bucap serves more than 450 customers and provides full outsourcing services covering any requirements of physical and digital archiving, traceability and data processing. Key facts about Bucap include: 8 plants in Northern and Central Italy, 1000 linear km of physically stored paper documents, 497 million documents stored in its database, 4,500 documents retrieved any day from their customers and 68,000 images digitalized per day.
The Challenge
Bucap, a leading Italian company providing outsourced document archiving and management services, needed a highly flexible and scalable system to allow quick and easy customization of the applications to respond to business requirements. The company handles huge quantities of data which must be managed and stored in systems compliant with the requirements of high availability, accessibility and security. Bucap also needed the system to be scalable, reliable, highly available and easy to maintain, in order to be able to support all the business processes of storage, indexing, retrieving, and displaying of the documents at the service level agreement committed with the customers.
The Solution
Bucap chose Actian Ingres database for Sun Cluster to guarantee high availability and security. The company also used Actian OpenROAD languages to develop its own applications. This allowed Bucap to develop, adapt and customize the document management and back office software application, named Marica, to the continuously changing business and customer needs. The production environment is a server cluster guaranteeing nonstop services to the customers. A major advantage of Ingres is the ease of administration compared to competitive products; it is very easy to administer, check, change and retrieve statistics out of the database.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

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.

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.
