关于客户
Simply Hired operates one of the world's largest online job search engines, interacting with more than 3.6 billion unique visitors a month. The company has sites in 24 countries and 12 languages, reaching candidates for more than 8 million jobs through the web, social networks, mobile devices, and thousands of partner sites—including LinkedIn, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Washington Post, and other leading online publishing brands. Unlike traditional listing sites, Simply Hired uses a pay-for-performance search model, which lets employers find high-quality candidates at an exceptionally low cost-per-job-application and cost-per-hire.
挑战
Simply Hired, one of the world's largest online job search engines, manages a significant amount of data to operate its search engine. The company captures user-generated data from every transaction, resulting in a massive amount of data that both business and technical staff want to analyze continuously. They rely on this data to improve search algorithms, optimize website and other channel interfaces, link cost-per-click and sponsored listing costs to market-driven auction rates, and strengthen online campaigns through regular A/B testing. Data analysis is also essential to predicting trends and identifying new business opportunities. Before Looker, Simply Hired engineers handled analytics by pre-aggregating data from multiple data sources and importing it into MySQL. Users couldn't see the connections between different data sets or understand what was going on at a high level in the business. Only people who knew how to write SQL could write queries, blocking an entire population of business users from direct data access.
解决方案
In 2012, Simply Hired modernized its data architecture and installed Looker to offer dynamic, personalized data views to a wide range of employees. For the first time, Looker put the power of real-time data in the hands of business users, who could create their own custom reports without knowing SQL and instantly drill down to uncover additional levels of detail. As Simply Hired's datasets continued to expand, the company migrated the data to Amazon Redshift. Looker analysts worked closely with Simply Hired throughout the conversion process, ensuring that Looker was configured to access the full power of the fast new data architecture to produce even more valuable insights. Now more than 80% of company employees in this rapidly growing business use Looker for everything from routine reports to deep data analysis.

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.

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.
