About The Customer
SalesHood was founded in 2013 to address the issues of inconsistent sales rep training and overall performance in globally distributed businesses. The company combines proven best practices in sales enablement with a technology platform that makes it easy to connect globally distributed teams. The enablement platform houses all onboarding, sales training, coaching, and content management capabilities in one central location, enabling SalesHood to serve as the single source of truth for all of a company’s sales-related questions.
The Challenge
SalesHood, a sales enablement platform, was facing challenges in providing insights showing the performance of engagement with the content they had on their platform. Their customers wanted to customize their metrics to their own unique KPIs and correlate a rep’s performance data with actions taken within the enablement platform. SalesHood also acknowledged the risks they faced if they failed to introduce analytics. They needed to embed analytics to ensure a seamless customer experience, but their developers were already maxed out. They didn’t have the time or the bandwidth to create something new when they were dedicated to their product roadmap and accelerating their business.
The Solution
SalesHood partnered with GoodData to introduce analytics to its platform. GoodData was able to immediately give SalesHood’s customers a way to visualize how successful they were in an emerging field. With GoodData, SalesHood was able to draw those correlations between the enablement system and the customer’s revenue system, and then display metrics that align with the customer’s KPIs. Through this experience, customers are now able to see their data, correlate it with sales performance, and make immediate decisions to impact the success of their sales team immediately.

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.
