About The Customer
Manpower, Inc. is one of the world's largest staffing agencies. The company built its international headquarters in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. The $78 million, 280,000 square foot building is situated on 2.7 acres of riverfront property. The building was constructed on urban land where a defunct power plant, brewery, and rail yard used to stand. The company was committed to building green and as a result, the Manpower Inc. World HQ was awarded the building LEED® Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The design of the building was influenced by Manpower's business model and was intended to reflect the company's global presence.
The Challenge
Manpower, Inc., one of the world's largest staffing agencies, built its international headquarters in downtown Milwaukee. The company was committed to building green and reflecting its global presence in the design of the building. The design needed to emulate a Euro-style environment, with a main entrance facing the river and a welcoming courtyard. The company's business model also influenced the design, with a focus on comfort over opulence. All aspects of the building's design and construction, including its door hardware, needed to fit within the context of building green, creating an international feel, and providing quality economically.
The Solution
Specifiers selected DORMA architectural hardware for doorways throughout the facility. The DORMA 8900 Series Door Closers, which combine a hydraulic control system with modern architectural styling and robust standard features, were used. The DORMA 9000 Series Exit Devices, with their heavy-duty cast chassis, were used to provide superior durability for high impact applications. The virtually invisible floor-concealed DORMA BTS80 Series Door Closers were used to withstand the most rigorous applications. The LM Series Pivots, constructed of brass and steel, were used on a wide range of special design doors. The rugged DORMA D800 Series Dead Bolts were used to provide added protection.

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.
