关于客户
Aon is a global professional services firm with approximately 50,000 employees and a presence in over 120 countries. Founded in 1982, Aon specializes in risk management, insurance, and reinsurance brokerage, and human resources solutions. The firm is committed to sustainability and has integrated it into its core strategy, aiming to reduce its corporate carbon footprint and achieve net-zero emissions by 2030. Aon assists clients in assessing and addressing risks associated with ESG issues, including the impact of climate change on reinsurance portfolios.
挑战
Aon faced increasing requests for climate data from regulatory bodies, clients, and employees. The firm needed a meaningful action plan starting with an up-to-date carbon footprint. However, the existing greenhouse gas accounting process required enhancement to meet these demands effectively.
解决方案
Aon partnered with Watershed in late 2022 to automate its carbon footprint measurement. Watershed provided a comprehensive platform that automated data measurement, ensuring accuracy and confidence in calculations. The platform's data library, with over 60,000 emissions factors, and its ability to pull vendor emissions data from CDP, significantly reduced manual work. This allowed Aon to focus on strategic emissions reduction actions, categorized into three buckets: strategic materiality, immediate reduction opportunities, and future emissions. The solution enabled Aon to target its supply chain for decarbonization opportunities and ensure accurate Scope 3 emissions evaluation.

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.
