关于客户
Uber, a global company with a workforce of about 20,000 employees, is re-imagining the way the world moves. The company has brought together a collection of optimists and doers to tackle some of the most challenging problems of our time. Uber’s people vision is to build the highest performing diverse workforce and to anticipate and meet the needs of its diverse customers, thus leading the global marketplace. The company’s fast global expansion created the need for a people analytics solution to support its culture of data-based decision-making. Uber’s business leaders needed fast and comprehensive access to information on their people, and they were faced with the choice between building or buying a people analytics solution.
挑战
Uber’s fast global expansion created the need for a people analytics solution to support its culture of data-based decision-making. There was limited ability for Uber’s People function or business leaders to quickly conduct analysis on their workforce, particularly across the entire organization. The company’s people data was housed in disparate systems and often categorized in different ways. This made it difficult to answer even simple questions like current headcount in an efficient, repeatable manner. Uber was faced with choosing whether to assign internal resources to build a customized people analytics solution or to select a vendor’s solution that could deliver to their requirements. Additionally, Uber’s business leaders needed comprehensive information on their people to be delivered through an attractive and intuitive interface. Time to value was also an important factor for determining their approach to a people analytics solution.
解决方案
Uber decided to buy Visier, a people analytics solution, based on its intuitive user interface, robust and people-focused data model, and the power and speed of its implementation partnership approach. By choosing Visier, Uber avoided the time and cost of building a data model and metric definitions for its people data. The decision to buy Visier was driven by the principle of enabling all business leaders, not just HR leaders, with data and analytics. Uber pursued a self-service model that empowers users, rather than having a large analytics team doing customized analyses with specialized tools and raw data. The onboarding and development approach was based on Uber’s “Test and Learn” product development approach, which draws on the lean concept of Minimum Viable Product (MVP). An “Uber People Dashboard” was developed in the Visier solution and tested with a group of users. Feedback was gathered from users weekly and converted into lists of changes and enhancements to data and configurations. The solution needed to enable local configuration changes without having to develop multiple customized versions. The project was guided by a decision team composed of key stakeholders from user groups, and crucial to implementation was having a senior business executive as an executive sponsor, along with the Chief People Officer.

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.
