About The Customer
Grip is a London-based company that developed an AI-based event matchmaking platform. The platform gives people personalized recommendations on who they should meet, making them more productive and avoiding wasted time. Event organizers are the primary Grip customers and they make this SaaS solution available to their visitors on the web or via a mobile app for pre-event networking and networking during the event. Grip now employs 75 people and, in addition to its London headquarters, it has bases in Dubai and in the USA. Since 2016, Grip has expanded the functionality of the event platform and has facilitated the connection of over 5.5 million participants through AI-driven event solutions.
The Challenge
Grip, a London-based company, developed an AI-based event matchmaking platform to solve the problem of inefficient networking at events. The platform uses a self-learning matchmaking engine that uses natural language processing, advanced algorithms, and deep neural networks to learn about the professional goals and interests of visitors, exhibitors, and sponsors. To remain competitive, Grip needed to integrate with other systems such as event registration and CRMs like HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, and Salesforce. However, building these integrations was a time-consuming process that required the expertise of developers.
The Solution
Grip implemented Qlik Application Automation, an integration platform that cuts the need for expensive development resources. Using low-code or even no-code to sidestep expensive and time-consuming programming, Qlik Application Automation is a visual environment that builds integrations that look like workflows. It solves internal data silo challenges by helping users to scale native integrations and move their development teams away from time-consuming, one-off, development work. Following initial training, Qlik Application Automation makes it easier to scale out and manage integrations and features a front-end hub or marketplace from which customers can choose the integrations they want to activate.

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.

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.
