About The Customer
Carbonite is a company that was founded in 2005 with the mission to provide an online back-up and restore service that is simple and affordable. The company has its corporate headquarters in Boston, a customer support center in Maine, and multiple data centers. Carbonite backs up more than 200 million new files for customers every day using advanced technology that ensures each backup happens quickly, safely, and without incident. The company's customers range from businesses to families to students. Carbonite offers these customers multiple avenues for on-demand computer support, including 24-hour live chat and an email support team ready to resolve problems as soon as they occur.
The Challenge
Carbonite, an online backup and restore service provider, was already using Bomgar’s hosted solution for remote support. However, the company wanted to expand its use of Bomgar to take advantage of additional features such as collaboration functionality, recording features, and analytic capabilities for viewing key support metrics. The company had two specific business objectives: to monitor customer support interactions to recognize where additional training gaps existed, and to observe customer satisfaction levels during interactions with customer support agents. The company also wanted to fully integrate the solution into their CRM system and reduce their licensing costs.
The Solution
Carbonite expanded its use of Bomgar to take advantage of its collaboration functionality, recording features, and analytic capabilities for viewing key support metrics. The company installed Bomgar’s newly released Bomgar 11.1 to increase technician productivity and extend support to mobile devices. Bomgar’s escalation chat feature enhances issue resolution by allowing Carbonite to ask questions or get information they couldn’t have gotten otherwise. The company also benefited from Bomgar’s escalation dashboard that provides a comprehensive view of their support teams’ activities and enables them to monitor and take over or transfer sessions when necessary. On the proactive side of the company’s support, Bomgar makes it possible for Carbonite to include remote session links in email notices to customers.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
