挑战
Ergo 曾四次荣获微软爱尔兰年度合作伙伴奖，它很早就意识到了构建自有知识产权的重要性。2008 年，该公司开始构建自有知识产权，产品名为 Fenergo。当时，该公司的营业额为 2000 万欧元，拥有 140 名员工。如今，Ergo 是一家业务遍布全球的 IT 解决方案提供商，总部位于都柏林，拥有 400 名员工，年营业额为 6000 万欧元。它已成功分拆出两家产品公司，即 Fenergo 和 FlowForma。2012 年末，在从事一个软件开发项目时，Ergo 意识到可以从为客户创建的解决方案中开发新产品的机会。当时担任 Ergo 软件解决方案实践负责人、现任 FlowForma 董事总经理的 Neil Young 向 Ergo 董事会提出了一项提案，即开发可在 SharePoint 平台上运行的业务流程管理工具的知识产权。
解决方案
在早期阶段，Young 需要测试其 FlowForma 概念的市场，并委托在英国和爱尔兰进行市场研究。在证明了机会规模并获得董事会支持后，Ergo 采取了非常深思熟虑的方法来使这项新业务取得成功。对于企业来说，快速看到结果非常重要，因此它迅速为这个新团队创造了发展其概念的空间。Ergo 获得的市场研究和第三方意见表明，明确的客户价值主张对于产品成功至关重要。通过分析目标地理和垂直市场的竞争格局，FlowForma 快速创建了其产品将为其增加最大价值的客户档案。这意味着新公司拥有一个强大的平台来构建正确的市场营销战略，并且其销售和营销完全一致。

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.
