About The Customer
Cvent is a leading cloud-based enterprise event management platform, founded in 1999. The company has more than 1,450 employees and 12,600 customers worldwide. Cvent offers software solutions to event planners for online event registration, venue selection, event management, mobile apps for events, e-mail marketing, and web surveys. The company's event management platform has been hosted entirely online from the beginning, offering just about everything an event planner needs, from online registration to event marketing, from venue arrangements to mobile apps for participants.
The Challenge
Cvent, a leading cloud-based enterprise event management platform, was facing a high bounce rate on its website. The company wanted to provide a compelling customer experience for its diverse website visitors. The complexity of event planning and the inability to provide pricing on the website made it difficult for visitors to find the information they needed. The company had tried another live chat product but found it lacking in several areas. The company needed a solution that was cloud-based, scalable, with robust reporting capabilities and the ability to integrate with its existing and planned digital marketing infrastructure.
The Solution
Cvent deployed a LivePerson solution with proactive chat, rules-based targeting, and extensive use of the platform’s enrichment analytics capabilities. The company upgraded to the LiveEngage platform, added content targeting, and is in the process of deploying Click to Call for mobile users. The company conducted testing on every aspect of the live chat experience over the past three years, including verbiage tests on live chat invitations, testing on the targeting rules for proactive chat, and tests involving the placement of the Click-to-Chat button. The company also deployed content targeting features, pushing out targeted content such as white papers and eBooks to visitors who exhibit behavior such as filling out forms or watching demos.

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.
