About The Customer
Mirabeau is a Netherlands-based agency that specializes in web and mobile application development. The agency combines design, technology, and marketing to create powerful solutions for its clients, which include ING, MoneYou, Air France-KLM, AEGON, and Nationale-Nederlanden. Established in 2001, Mirabeau recently celebrated its twelfth anniversary and currently employs about 300 people. The agency's core lies in the combination of creativity and technology. As a full-service agency, clients approach Mirabeau for strategy, design concepts, website development, and website management once the project is completed. The agency is primarily active in the travel, finance, and e-commerce sectors.
The Challenge
Mirabeau, a full-service online agency, was looking for a way to empower their teams, build stronger relationships with clients, and develop a culture of result-oriented individuals. They needed a solution that could provide real-time insights into commercial or technical KPIs for their clients and give a multidisciplinary overview of running projects and daily operations for their Scrum/Agile/DevOps teams. The challenge was not only in designing and configuring a dashboard but also in defining the right KPIs and obtaining the right data in the first place. They faced difficulties in getting appropriate data from back-end located systems and databases due to security restrictions or distributed responsibilities.
The Solution
Mirabeau implemented Geckoboard to address their needs. Geckoboard is a real-time dashboard technology that presents commercial or technical KPIs, creating KPI awareness within clients and helping identify potential problems ahead of time. It also provides a multidisciplinary overview of running projects and daily operations for Scrum/Agile/DevOps teams. The dashboards contain project KPIs (like ETC, number of open issues, number of hours spent etc.), operation KPIs (like uptime, performance), test KPIs (number of failed and succeeded tests), and social information (twitter feed). This holistic view of what's happening now enables teams to be more efficient and effective. The dashboards are displayed on the wall, shared with clients as URLs, and provided on iPads for clients to have their KPIs available on the go.

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.
