About The Customer
Enterprise Events Group (EEG) is a leader in the Event Management sector, with very large companies as clients. They collect a tremendous amount of data around these events, from speakers and schedules, to room reservations and more. Afterwards their clients want to evaluate all the information they collected to see what insights can be gleaned. EEG had no quick and easy data analysis process for getting those insights to clients. EEG’s Services Director, Adam Clark, set out to find what insights their customers wanted and the best way to help them gain these insights. Adam found the best BI and embedded analytics solution with Sisense.
The Challenge
EEG had to structure the data to have the functionality and flexibility at an interface level so that they could easily deploy it to any event type and use consistent tools to report on the data. That is where the problem arose: though the data was being collected, the data created data dumps that were cumbersome to understand and not structured to produce easy or accurate data analysis. After Adam sifted through the data dumps of a number of their clients, he realized that some data just couldn’t be connected in a traditional reporting environment - creating gaps of what they could report. After talking to a longtime client, he found that many of their clients were forced to manually pull data and reports together - and were spending a significant amount of time doing it. Adam attempted to solve the problem by doing data analysis for his clients internally and sending out the reports. But, for Adam to do that internally, he had to pull the data out of Salesforce, cobble it together, create reports and charts in Excel and then email them out. Every report would have taken weeks at least, and the clients wanted to see this data frequently and quickly, so it wasn’t feasible.
The Solution
Realizing reporting and data analysis was a real pain point both internally and externally, Adam set out to find a software that could also be embedded into their solution for customer-facing dashboards and reports. Adam went on to review 16 BI solutions with embedded analytics options that he found through Gartner's Magic Quadrant for BI. Adam found Sisense to be unique in the BI market for these reasons: Ability to easily embed and white label their analytics, Provides an unlimited number of dashboard viewers, Incredible ease of use, Attractive interface, High-quality support, Low cost of ownership. During a search for the perfect BI tool, Adam took the time to understand what data was important to one of his long term clients. He sat down with the client and put together a dashboard that took care of every reporting need. The client absolutely loved the Sisense experience and the real-time data it provided. This client went from calling EEG daily for help, to becoming completely self-sufficient and barely needing EEG's support. Now, EEG has created a whole slew of dashboard templates that they are able to easily leverage from one event to another by just changing a filter. They even built a roommate pairing system that trumps any report like it in terms of usability and accuracy. None of this was possible before Sisense.

Engine Informática offers SAP software as a service with IBM
Engine Informática, a Brazil-based company specializing in the implementation of SAP ERP solutions, identified a gap in the market for small and medium-sized companies. The company realized that the fixed infrastructure investment needed to run SAP 24/7, such as data centers, hardware, and support, meant that the per-user cost could be perceived as too high for smaller companies. The challenge was to reduce or eliminate the capital expenditures and implementation costs as much as possible to help reduce the barriers to entry for these smaller companies.

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.

IBM social business software connects and empowers employees for competitive advantage
Superior Group, a company providing workforce productivity solutions, found that its employees worldwide felt disconnected from headquarters, regional offices and each other due to outdated internal communication and collaboration tools. The company's intranet had become a top-down affair with little staff involvement, and employees lacked effective tools for anywhere/anytime communications. Those working remotely had limited access to co-workers and company apps. The main method of collaboration was inefficient email, challenging IT staff to manage a growing store of attachments. These factors inhibited the company from achieving its productivity goals.
