关于客户
The client is a leading provider of a specialized task management system called Getting Things Done (GTD). Their time-management and personal productivity methodology enables a stress-free way to handle tasks while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Created by productivity coach and author David Allen, GTD offers many courses for different target audiences, ranging from CEOs to parents working from home. Videos of GTD best practices and David Allen interviews are very popular with businesses and individuals worldwide.
挑战
The client wanted to make sense of their 20+ years’ worth of accumulated GTD content, which accounted for more than 100,000 documents and media files translating to 9 Terabytes of data. They needed a solution that could transcribe, summarize, conduct sentiment analysis, enable semantic search, and organize their data. This would help them deliver relevant knowledge to both current GTD practitioners and others looking for specific solutions to challenges in their lives. The client explored all major cloud vendors from the Gartner Magic Quadrant, including Amazon, Google, and IBM. However, they found these solutions to be expensive, geared towards large enterprises, and requiring third-party IT vendors for custom solutions. The client felt there was a gap in the market for companies like them with limited users.
解决方案
Repustate provided GTD with a customized semantic search solution capable of handling all the tasks they were looking for. The solution enabled intelligent search of more than 100,000 pieces of content by organizing the data according to topics, themes, and methodology. Its built-in semantic search capability made related content easily accessible. For example, when searching for 'executive,' the client could get all instances of 'president,' 'vice president,' and 'chief executive officer.' Repustate’s solution also allowed the client to search and organize content based on concepts, not just exact keywords. This was particularly useful because, within the GTD methodology, certain terms have specific meanings and relationships to other terms. For example, when the client searches for 'workflow,' they also need to find all instances of any of the five steps of their workflow: Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, and Engage.

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.

Opal Helps Customers Shine Thanks to Datto
SP Flooring & Design Center faced a ransomware attack that encrypted and locked their files. The attack was initiated through a compromised service account set up by an outside vendor. The ransomware infection was isolated quickly, but there was a concern about the extent of the data at risk. The company had backups in place but was unsure of how much information was compromised. The situation required immediate action to prevent further damage and restore the affected data.

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.
