The Challenge
Businesses are constantly seeking ways to enhance customer experience while reducing operational costs. The challenge lies in efficiently managing customer service cases, which can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. Traditional methods often require extensive coding and model building, which can be costly and complex. Companies need a solution that can streamline customer service processes, reduce time-to-resolution, and improve overall customer satisfaction without incurring high costs or requiring significant technical expertise.
The Solution
Zendesk has partnered with OpenAI to integrate advanced generative AI capabilities into its existing suite of customer experience tools. This collaboration enhances Zendesk's proprietary foundational models, which are already tailored to industry-specific insights and customer experience data. The integration allows businesses to leverage AI for intelligent customer service solutions without the need for coding or complex model building. Key features include content summarization, which reduces time-to-resolution by summarizing long tickets, and knowledge base creation, which automatically generates support articles and macros to boost productivity. Additionally, the AI-powered system enables agents to expand their replies with minimal input, streamlining the response process. These enhancements aim to provide businesses with a scalable, efficient solution to improve customer service operations and satisfaction.

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.
