About The Customer
Inventive is a company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Soisy-sur-Seine, France. The company is committed to equitable, collaborative innovation. Inventive's cornerstone platform shares technical and business challenges from leading organizations to help individuals develop and sell groundbreaking ideas. The company was looking to launch its fair-trade crowdsourcing portal and needed a flexible, cost-effective development platform and high-performance cloud hosting infrastructure.
The Challenge
Inventive, a company committed to equitable, collaborative innovation, was looking to launch its fair-trade crowdsourcing portal. For this, it needed a flexible, cost-effective development platform and high-performance cloud hosting infrastructure. The company needed to ensure that the infrastructure was scalable to continue extending its portal solution as needed. The platform also needed to offer on-demand development capabilities to agilely support new projects.
The Solution
Inventive joined the IBM Global Entrepreneur program, developing its solution in an IBM Bluemix environment running on powerful SoftLayer cloud technology. After evaluating OVH and Amazon Web Services platforms, the company provisioned virtual server infrastructure in the SoftLayer data center in Paris to host its new portal. The SoftLayer technology provides the scalable infrastructure Inventive requires to continue extending its portal solution as needed, and the IBM Bluemix platform offers on-demand development capabilities to agilely support new projects.
Operational Impact
  • Accelerated provisioning to flexibly and rapidly accommodate new demands
  • Global presence to target new markets worldwide, including Africa and North America
  • Scalable infrastructure to continue extending portal solution as needed
  • On-demand development capabilities to agilely support new projects
