About The Customer
Bold is a company transforming the career industry through the creative use of technology. They work with job seekers and recruiters to connect the best people and companies. They provide subscription-based services, including resume builders, cover letter builders, interview prep, job postings, and worker postings. Bold collects a huge volume of data, currently 60TB, and actively analyzes 2TB. The company aims to fine-tune their builder tools for maximum efficiency by understanding which subscription types are getting renewed the most, which products are being purchased the most, and the most effective model for connecting employees to employers.
The Challenge
Bold collects a huge volume of data, currently 60TB, and actively analyzes 2TB. They provide subscription-based services, including resume builders, cover letter builders, interview prep, job postings, and worker postings. Each subscription has different frequencies and levels that need to be tracked. They wanted to see which subscription types were getting renewed the most, which products were being purchased the most, and the most effective model for connecting employees to employers. Their existing tool for visualizing transactional data was not meeting their needs. Balaji Jayapal, Head of BI and Big Data, sought a better way to manage their 2TB of transactional data and visualize it effectively.
The Solution
Balaji Jayapal conducted an extensive search for a new tool, testing several on live marketing data and showing them to various departments to get buy-in. Sisense was chosen for its superior visualizations and ease of use. Sisense was implemented in several creative ways, including system monitoring for variances outside of standard deviation and reducing the number of credit card chargebacks. The Platform team used Sisense to analyze credit card chargeback ratios, identifying the most problematic cards and prompting users to use a new card or bail out of the purchase. This process significantly reduced chargeback rates. Sisense was also used to create 20 Elasticubes and 50 dashboards across various data types, including transaction, business, ecommerce, and marketing data. The ETL tool with Sisense enabled hourly analyses of transactions, applying standard deviation to compare to the prior six months and sending alerts for any significant variances.

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.
