About The Customer
Securex is a Belgium-based provider of social-services management that helps small and medium-sized companies with payroll, HR, and other social-management tasks. The company currently has 26,000 clients, and 73 percent of its customer base consists of companies with fewer than five workers. Securex has shifted its entire business strategy to e-services, utilizing the Internet wherever possible to eliminate manual processes and streamline access to information. This directive motivated Securex to transform its client/server Magistral application into an online service called Magistral ASP. The company conducted extensive research into Belgium’s social services requirements, then created a software application that accommodates customer needs.
The Challenge
Securex, a Belgium-based provider of social-services management, helps small and medium-sized companies with payroll, HR, and other social-management tasks. The complex structure of Belgium’s legal and social services makes it difficult for companies to keep up-to-date with continually changing personnel and payroll requirements. Large organizations typically employ in-house specialists to stay on top of the changes. But for smaller enterprises and independent contractors, maintaining compliance with government payroll regulations involves navigating through a bureaucratic maze. This difficulty supplies a burgeoning market for Securex, a provider of social-services management based in Belgium that helps small and medium-sized companies. Securex currently has 26,000 clients, and 73 percent of its customer base consists of companies with fewer than five workers.
The Solution
Securex makes it easy for these Belgian companies to meet legal and fiscal obligations, thanks to a unique self-service human resources (HR) application called Magistral ASP. Delivered as an online software service, Magistral ASP is especially designed for companies that wish to automate their personnel administration and management activities. The application uses Information Builders’ WebFOCUS to generate reports and business intelligence information via the Web, e-mail, and printed reports, creating a real-time information delivery environment for small business owners. For example, FNAC, a large media and entertainment retailer in Belgium, is using Magistral ASP to support 800 employees at six branches in Brussels, Gent, Antwerp, Wijnegem, Leuven, and Liège.

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.
