关于客户
Insight Global is a staffing services company that supports large enterprises in hiring top talent. Founded in 2001, the company has grown to employ 5,000 internal staff and 35,000 consultants. Headquartered in Atlanta, Insight Global operates over 70 offices across the US, Canada, and the UK, and provides staffing services internationally in more than 20 countries. Despite being primarily a services company, Insight Global recognized its potential for climate impact and began tracking its partial carbon emissions in 2019. The company saw an increasing demand for hiring in the climate and renewable energy industries and aimed to attract discerning candidates. Insight Global's clients largely consist of Fortune 500 companies with public sustainability commitments, which prompted the company to develop a robust sustainability program.
挑战
Insight Global faced the challenge of providing clients with an accurate view of emissions produced by their business. As the company was reporting to CDP for the first time, it received numerous requests from clients, primarily Fortune 500 companies, who had ambitious sustainability commitments. The accuracy of emissions data was critical. Katherine Slater, the Sustainability Program Manager, was responsible for building and reporting on the climate program. After a few years of measuring scope 1 and 2 emissions in-house, Slater identified the need for a less manual process that could provide more accurate and actionable results. The manual process involved guessing emissions factors and was tedious, with scope 3 emissions being incomplete.
解决方案
Insight Global implemented Watershed in early 2023 to improve the accuracy and efficiency of its emissions reporting. The implementation of Watershed provided built-in data collection guidance, making it clear what data was needed and how to find it. This addressed previous data gaps, such as not including the travel of 35,000 consultant employees in the initial footprint. The interactive data exploration feature allowed Insight Global to identify major emission drivers, such as IT equipment and company travel, which were larger than expected. This insight enabled the company to make more thoughtful decisions about travel, a significant part of its operations. Watershed also provided the inputs needed to set data-backed targets, allowing Insight Global to create and submit science-based targets for validation. The solution enabled the company to confidently project its work into the future and establish credible goals.

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.
