挑战
ACTIVE helps organizers transform and grow their businesses. The company hosts the world’s largest directory of sports and recreational activities, facilities, venues, and classes—and collects all participant and event data so thousands of organizers can manage data and payments seamlessly and effectively. “Our goal is to help transform and grow event organizations everywhere,” says Kristin Carroll, vice president of corporate and consumer marketing. “We had an API. We just didn’t have the knowledge or resources to implement it to its full potential from development to monetization,” explains Ms. Carroll. The company was looking for ways to broadly share customer activities that would fit with its cloud infrastructure. Further, it wanted to replace ETL systems with APIs, increase IT efficiency while keeping costs below average, and implement a secure API management solution that could scale with global growth.
解决方案
ACTIVE Network looked at its API program as an innovation and incubator opportunity but needed expert guidance to move forward. The company aligned with TIBCO and utilized TIBCO Mashery® to expand the functionality of its API and leverage connections with the developer community to drive usage and adoption. Through Mashery, ACTIVE built its open data ACTIVE Access Platform, providing multiple APIs to serve different needs. The company added hundreds of partners, ranging from vertically focused companies to larger organizations. Developer relations became an integral part of the API strategy, with a dedicated support team to communicate with the developer community and foster relationships. Mashery automated account and API key creation provided quicker and smoother onboarding, reducing the need for extensive account management. The Mashery-made developer portal allowed partners to easily learn about ACTIVE’s multiple APIs and how to monetize opportunities through the affiliate program, which awards a percentage of every transaction or activity sign-up.

Engine Informática offers SAP software as a service with IBM
Engine Informática, a Brazil-based company specializing in the implementation of SAP ERP solutions, identified a gap in the market for small and medium-sized companies. The company realized that the fixed infrastructure investment needed to run SAP 24/7, such as data centers, hardware, and support, meant that the per-user cost could be perceived as too high for smaller companies. The challenge was to reduce or eliminate the capital expenditures and implementation costs as much as possible to help reduce the barriers to entry for these smaller companies.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.

IBM social business software connects and empowers employees for competitive advantage
Superior Group, a company providing workforce productivity solutions, found that its employees worldwide felt disconnected from headquarters, regional offices and each other due to outdated internal communication and collaboration tools. The company's intranet had become a top-down affair with little staff involvement, and employees lacked effective tools for anywhere/anytime communications. Those working remotely had limited access to co-workers and company apps. The main method of collaboration was inefficient email, challenging IT staff to manage a growing store of attachments. These factors inhibited the company from achieving its productivity goals.
