City & County of Denver accelerates the delivery of government services
The City and County of Denver (CCD) aimed to bring a digital experience to Colorado residents and businesses, allowing them to conduct government-related services online. This involved connecting legacy IT systems and critical data to new cloud-based services across over 50 agencies, implementing new technologies to enhance the delivery of law enforcement services, and streamlining key government services such as licensing and permitting. Before MuleSoft, the CCD team used Oracle’s ESB solution, which slowed down innovation and required frequent, time-consuming updates, custom integrations with multiple single points of failure, and very little documentation or reusability.

H2O for Real Time Fraud Detection
Organizations responsible for fraud prevention are facing a host of challenges at the transaction, account, and network-level to detect fraudulent behavior and suspicious activities. Fraudulent transactions are rare, but costly if they aren’t detected. In the credit card business, for example, third-party fraud accounts for roughly 4 out of every 10,000 transactions. Modeling rare events is difficult, like finding a needle in a haystack. For best results, gather as much data as possible, and use the most advanced techniques available.

KHD achieves best of both: cloud benefits and enterprise capabilities
KHD, a global leader in cement plant technology, equipment, and services, was facing challenges with its legacy IT infrastructure. The company's data growth rates were increasing, and the costs associated with managing this data were also on the rise. The complexity within the data center was growing, with the need to deploy numerous different deduplication, compression, and optimization appliances to keep up with data growth and the performance requirements of enterprise applications. The increasing capital costs for added storage, compute, various appliances, and software licensing were a concern. Additionally, operational expenses were mounting as administrators were spending countless hours on menial maintenance tasks instead of focusing on innovation to drive the business forward. In certain countries, where staff turnover rates are typically high, the lack of trained IT resources was impacting growth. KHD needed a new solution, based on a fundamentally new data architecture.

Document Outsourcer Consolidates IT Infrastructure and Improves DR with SimpliVity
High Cotton’s disjointed IT environment was becoming increasingly risky, and costly to maintain and scale. The company relied on a mix of legacy equipment including HP servers, third-party storage systems, and they didn’t have any in-house data protection. Administering the fragmented environment was a manually intensive and error-prone undertaking involving a number of distinct management systems. Deploying new workloads—allocating compute and storage resources, instituting backup policies, performing restores—could take hours and weeks using the company’s legacy solutions. Even worse, disasters or equipment failures had the potential to impair critical IT services and disrupt business; restoring applications, including VMware Horizon View VDI apps, could take hours or days using the incumbent data protection solutions and methods.

St. John’s Riverside Hospital gains flexibility through HPE SimpliVity
St. John’s Riverside Hospital had been running their existing infrastructure environment for seven years, and the time had come for them to expand and update their technology. A multitude of issues came to a head, the most urgent being that their 40TB storage systems were quickly running out of physical space loads, restricting their ability to scale and grow. Their legacy servers were also oversubscribed to the point that failover was completely prohibited, leaving St. John’s Riverside Hospital in a compromised and unacceptable state if the system should ever crash. With so many mission-critical applications running in their virtualized environment, data protection and speedy data backup are essential to the well being of St. John’s Riverside and their patients. Using legacy backup software for their D2D backup as well as for an offsite location five miles away, St. John’s was seeing RPOs of eight to ten hours with a three-month retention and, depending on the data, RTOs could take five to ten minutes for files, with full servers taking up to 30 minutes. These backup times were unfavorable for St. John’s, who prides itself on continually improving efficiency and speed.

Reinventing the Business of Sweet Treats
Manufacture Belge de Chocolats (MBC), a Belgian chocolate manufacturer, was part of the corporate Godiva family until 2019 when Godiva sold its Brussels operations. This led to MBC becoming a standalone company, still manufacturing chocolates for Godiva but also creating its own brand - Rosalie's. The company aims to be an agile manufacturer that can meet production demands for all types of customers, including smaller batch orders. However, following the divestiture, MBC had to replicate the technical and administrative services that had been centralized under Godiva in the US. This included security, product specification management, and an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. To meet its new manufacturing goals, MBC needed to digitalize its factory and automate its processes.

Indigenous Women Embrace IT to Unite Remote Region
University College of the North (UCN) is committed to the development of its region, northern Manitoba, where approximately 70% of its student population is indigenous. The region is widely dispersed and remote, with nine of UCN's 12 regional training centers located in First Nations communities. The challenge was to expand access to IT training and career options for indigenous women in these communities, without requiring them to leave their social supports and face culture shock by moving over 600 km away to Winnipeg. The Information Technology Readiness North (InTeRN) project was created to meet this challenge, but it needed to be structured in a way that would be successful in an indigenous community, incorporating a holistic perspective and mentorship.

S and B Engineers and Constructors LLP (S&B India) Reimagines IT Infrastructure
S&B India's existing setup had served them well until now. As their workload grew, they were looking to refresh their IT infrastructure to be scalable for at least the next five years. Hence, they knew hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) was the answer. Given the scale, complexities, and criticality of the engineering and design services that S&B India offers to crucial capital goods, basic materials, and energy sectors, data integrity and high availability are paramount for the organization. Until recently S&B India ran on a conventional setup of HPE servers with SAN storage and several applications including CAD/CAM and Oracle database running on VMware® clusters. As the organizational workload continued to rapidly grow, S&B India was overwhelmed with IT performance issues. Given the resource requirement creeping up on S&B India's IT infrastructure and network, its far-site, on-premises disaster recovery setup wasn't keeping up with the scale. Space constraints to continuously add infrastructure and lack of centralized server control added to the woes.

Faster, Better, Less Expensive: Data-Driven Clinical Trials Monitoring
Clintel identified a growing need in drug development: enabling clinical development organizations to comply with FDA draft guidance on risk-based monitoring principles. They saw the potential to develop easy-to-use tools that could also improve quality and significantly reduce costs. The FDA advocates alternatives to regular, frequent onsite visits and verification of all data, which involve costly travel and provide little added benefit. Instead, they recommend approaches that identify risks to patient safety by utilizing critical data elements gathered in clinical data systems as a method of determining which sites warrant additional attention from clinical research associates (CRAs). The problem lies in getting that information to the right people at the right time, and in their language. Despite these issues, spreadsheets have become the default report technology for many business users because they have simply had no other option.

NYC Fleet Uses Business Intelligence to Tackle Fleet Traffic Crashes with Vision Zero
New York City, under the leadership of Mayor Bill de Blasio, launched the Vision Zero Action Plan to combat traffic-related deaths. In 2013, the year before de Blasio was elected mayor, there were 183 pedestrians killed in traffic crashes, the highest number since 2003. The City Fleet, which covers over 29,000 vehicles, needed a highly accurate way to track collision metrics. The metrics tracked include citywide collisions by fleet agency, collisions with injuries, pedestrian injuries, fatalities, collisions by geographic location, and collisions with both moving and non-moving objects. Other important fleet pieces tracked are internal, such as whether or not employees have completed defensive driving courses, state inspections, completed and overdue preventive maintenance, fleet roster and the installation of truck sideguards.

How the East Bay Municipal Utility District Saves Time and Space with Customized Motor Pool Management
The East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) operated two motor pool lots without an automated system in place. One motor pool used a physical punch clock, while the other used an online form for checking out a pool vehicle. Because this process was manual, pool vehicles could only be reserved in four or eight hour intervals, even if the vehicle was only needed for a shorter period of time. This resulted in inefficiency and labor intensiveness.

How Scott County Improved their Preventive Maintenance Compliance Through FleetFocus Notifications
In 2016, Scott County, Minnesota faced a significant problem with their Preventive Maintenance Compliance (PMC) reporting for all equipment in the County, which was very low. The two departments that were significantly lower in PMC and were skewing the numbers downward were the Highway Maintenance and the Sheriff’s Departments, averaging about 15%-20% on time compliance. The Sheriff’s Department had unique assets to track, including 25 squad sheriff cars, 5-6 of which run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each vehicle racks up approximately 200-350 miles a day. The first challenge was that their equipment class for preventive maintenance (PM) purposes was due at the 400 mile mark. Due to the vehicles’ high daily mileage, they realized that even a day and a half without stopping in the shop could leave that vehicle out of compliance already. The second challenge was a communication gap between the Sheriff’s Department and its maintenance shops. As PM would come due, the shop technician or parts manager would send an email notice to the driver of the vehicle, essentially saying, “Let’s get the PM scheduled.” As one can imagine, drivers in the Sheriff’s Department are very busy with cases, off-hour shifts and other procedural work, which sometimes led to delayed responses to the PM emails. Based on their established PMC mark, these vehicles would end up violating the PMC during the gaps in communication.
