About The Customer
Eurofound is a Dublin-based European Union agency that provides research and knowledge in the area of social and work-related policies for the improvement of living and working conditions. The agency is constantly evaluating business processes to increase efficiencies and save money. The agency has a HR team of six people and a workforce of 110. Eurofound is a Microsoft house that has made SharePoint® the central pillar of its internal application development.
The Challenge
Eurofound, a Dublin-based European Union agency, was facing challenges with its internal HR review procedures due to significant EU changes to the way employers assess employees. The agency needed a Process Automation tool to support a HR team of six people and a workforce of 110. Compounding the need to meet new regulatory requirements were issues around the application Eurofound had been using for electronic forms. The InfoPath software was being discontinued, and its limited features struggled to deliver the workflow functionality that the agency was looking for. The agency was looking for a solution that could replace the ageing form-building application and meet the increasingly regulated HR procedures.
The Solution
Eurofound decided to go with FlowForma Process Automation. The software was a natural fit as it was built from the ground up to integrate with the SharePoint platform. The company’s Human Resource Development Plan (HRDP) that prompted the FlowForma Process Automation investment is a complex employee review process that takes place over a year. After some initial training from the FlowForma team, Pritchard took just a week to build a solution aligned to the intricacies of the HRDP, involving multiple stakeholders, forms going back and forward, and an appeals process that needed to be incorporated into the workflow. FlowForma Process Automation has become a strategically important application that’s used across the organization.

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.
