关于客户
Sales Impact Academy (SIA) is a leading skill development provider and platform that offers continuous live and on-demand learning for high-growth technology companies. The traditional education system has failed B2B companies by lacking formal, structured education in sales and go-to-market strategies. This gap has left over 100 million people worldwide learning on the job, putting commercial contributors and leaders at risk of missing targets. SIA addresses this skills crisis by bringing together top talent to teach structured, live online courses with high learning design principles. The academy supports the skills development of over 12,000 learners across 280 customers, including notable companies like HubSpot, Github, Gong, Klaviyo, and Rubrik. SIA is committed to solving the skills gap by providing a comprehensive platform for continuous learning and reinforcement, empowering individuals and organizations to achieve their goals.
挑战
Prior to implementing Sigma, SIA’s Customer Success team faced significant challenges in creating and delivering reports. They relied on manually downloading data extracts and uploading them into Google Sheets, which was a slow and cumbersome process. The limitations of spreadsheets in handling large data volumes further compounded the issue. As a result, the team spent 50% of their time creating dashboards weekly. SIA initially adopted Tableau as their BI tool, but it required technical data analysts proficient in SQL to create and perform ad hoc requests. This dependency on SQL knowledge created data silos and slowed down the turnaround time for insights. Additionally, connecting Tableau to their Snowflake data cloud and managing licenses for 125 users proved costly and complex. The complexity of Tableau and its steep learning curve frustrated Ryan Scheuermann, SIA’s CTO, as only a few individuals could effectively use the tool. This led to difficulties in sharing dashboards internally and externally, requiring advanced SQL knowledge. The process was time-consuming, costly, and manpower-intensive, hindering SIA’s ability to efficiently generate insights.
解决方案
With the implementation of Sigma, SIA was able to streamline their workflow and optimize report and dashboard creation. Sigma allowed teams to self-serve and access the data they needed without requiring coding or data modeling skills. This democratization of data enabled SIA to reduce overall spend, headcount, and time wasted during a challenging global financial period. Sigma’s integration with Snowflake made data sharing and insight generation easy and cost-effective compared to Tableau. SIA could now build visually appealing dashboards for customers to interact with their data hands-on. The embedded analytics feature of Sigma facilitated seamless sharing of dashboards, aligning teams across the organization. With reduced headcount costs and streamlined analytics, SIA could focus on strategic projects and drive data-driven decisions. Sigma empowered users to collaborate, create, and share insights across the platform, making it the default analytics tool for all teams. The customer usage report on Sigma provided valuable insights into how customers were using dashboards, enhancing the data exploration experience.

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.
