About The Customer
PlumChoice is a fee-for-service online support company that provides services via white label and affiliate channel partners in the following segments: Telco/Cable/ISPs, Retailers and OEMs. The company has been providing remote support over the Internet for close to a decade. Support incidents are delivered to PlumChoice’s 500+ home-based agents via online technology. Ninety-five percent of their support requests are completed virtually. The company used Citrix’s GoToAssist™ as their remote access tool for the first four years in business.
The Challenge
PlumChoice, a fee-for-service online support company, was using Citrix’s GoToAssist™ as their remote access tool. However, as the popularity of Mac systems increased and the market for mobile devices such as smart phones, digital cameras and MP3 players exploded, PlumChoice realized their remote support solution no longer met their needs. GoToAssist did not support any systems beyond the Windows platform and failed to provide the security measures PlumChoice needed to be compliant with its customers’ industry standards. PlumChoice started to receive requests from their partners to extend beyond the Windows platform and began reevaluating GoToAssist™ as their remote support solution. They needed a solution that would record every support session and agent interaction.
The Solution
PlumChoice began an exhaustive search for a cost-effective remote desktop control solution that would meet the demands of scalability across multiple platforms and handheld devices in a secure environment. They chose Bomgar for four crucial reasons. Firstly, Bomgar gives PlumChoice a competitive advantage by increasing functionality through supporting multiple platforms while reducing costs. Secondly, Bomgar provides automatic session recording for post-session analysis and audit. Plus, all session data is consolidated within the firewall. This specification meets the strict security and audit trail requirements set forth by PlumChoice’s business customers. Thirdly, Bomgar offers PlumChoice the ability to grow by adding licenses in an on-demand fashion. Lastly, Bomgar’s integration features allow PlumChoice support reps to use existing toolsets across multiple operating systems.

Improving Production Line Efficiency with Ethernet Micro RTU Controller
Moxa was asked to provide a connectivity solution for one of the world's leading cosmetics companies. This multinational corporation, with retail presence in 130 countries, 23 global braches, and over 66,000 employees, sought to improve the efficiency of their production process by migrating from manual monitoring to an automatic productivity monitoring system. The production line was being monitored by ABB Real-TPI, a factory information system that offers data collection and analysis to improve plant efficiency. Due to software limitations, the customer needed an OPC server and a corresponding I/O solution to collect data from additional sensor devices for the Real-TPI system. The goal is to enable the factory information system to more thoroughly collect data from every corner of the production line. This will improve its ability to measure Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and translate into increased production efficiencies. System Requirements • Instant status updates while still consuming minimal bandwidth to relieve strain on limited factory networks • Interoperable with ABB Real-TPI • Small form factor appropriate for deployment where space is scarce • Remote software management and configuration to simplify operations

How Sirqul’s IoT Platform is Crafting Carrefour’s New In-Store Experiences
Carrefour Taiwan’s goal is to be completely digital by end of 2018. Out-dated manual methods for analysis and assumptions limited Carrefour’s ability to change the customer experience and were void of real-time decision-making capabilities. Rather than relying solely on sales data, assumptions, and disparate systems, Carrefour Taiwan’s CEO led an initiative to find a connected IoT solution that could give the team the ability to make real-time changes and more informed decisions. Prior to implementing, Carrefour struggled to address their conversion rates and did not have the proper insights into the customer decision-making process nor how to make an immediate impact without losing customer confidence.

Digital Retail Security Solutions
Sennco wanted to help its retail customers increase sales and profits by developing an innovative alarm system as opposed to conventional connected alarms that are permanently tethered to display products. These traditional security systems were cumbersome and intrusive to the customer shopping experience. Additionally, they provided no useful data or analytics.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
