About The Customer
Mirabeau is a Netherlands-based agency that specializes in web and mobile application development. The agency combines design, technology, and marketing to create powerful solutions for its clients, which include ING, MoneYou, Air France-KLM, AEGON, and Nationale-Nederlanden. Established in 2001, Mirabeau recently celebrated its twelfth anniversary and currently employs about 300 people. The agency's core lies in the combination of creativity and technology. As a full-service agency, clients approach Mirabeau for strategy, design concepts, website development, and website management once the project is completed. The agency is primarily active in the travel, finance, and e-commerce sectors.
The Challenge
Mirabeau, a full-service online agency, was looking for a way to empower their teams, build stronger relationships with clients, and develop a culture of result-oriented individuals. They needed a solution that could provide real-time insights into commercial or technical KPIs for their clients and give a multidisciplinary overview of running projects and daily operations for their Scrum/Agile/DevOps teams. The challenge was not only in designing and configuring a dashboard but also in defining the right KPIs and obtaining the right data in the first place. They faced difficulties in getting appropriate data from back-end located systems and databases due to security restrictions or distributed responsibilities.
The Solution
Mirabeau implemented Geckoboard to address their needs. Geckoboard is a real-time dashboard technology that presents commercial or technical KPIs, creating KPI awareness within clients and helping identify potential problems ahead of time. It also provides a multidisciplinary overview of running projects and daily operations for Scrum/Agile/DevOps teams. The dashboards contain project KPIs (like ETC, number of open issues, number of hours spent etc.), operation KPIs (like uptime, performance), test KPIs (number of failed and succeeded tests), and social information (twitter feed). This holistic view of what's happening now enables teams to be more efficient and effective. The dashboards are displayed on the wall, shared with clients as URLs, and provided on iPads for clients to have their KPIs available on the go.

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.
