About The Customer
PartnerStack is an all-in-one partner relationship management platform designed to accelerate growth for software businesses and their partners. As the only partnerships platform built for B2B SaaS, PartnerStack enables companies to reach more customers by automating the toughest parts of building, managing, and scaling partner programs. The network supports affiliate, referral, and reseller channel partners on a single platform to drive recurring revenue. The company is based in the United States and operates on a global scale, serving over 500 internal vendors worldwide.
The Challenge
PartnerStack, a partner relationship management platform, was initially focused on transactional fraud on the end-customer side. However, they soon started to see fraudulent behavior on the partner side as well. They were faced with self-referral abuse, in which sellers tried to impersonate themselves and use their own link to generate revenue, at the expense of PartnerStack. Fraudsters were also attempting to game the rewards system by signing up for as many programs as possible. As these more advanced forms of fraud began popping up, the team recognized they needed a more sophisticated solution. Their original fraud platform was outdated, limited to email address and IP signals, and simply couldn’t keep up with the abuse they were battling. As a publicly-accessible marketplace, it was crucial for PartnerStack to maintain a trustworthy and secure platform—for customers, partners, and their own bottom line.
The Solution
After researching leading fraud prevention solutions, PartnerStack ultimately chose Sift due to the global network of 34k sites and apps, easily-digestible data visualization, and ability to accurately automate decisions. Sift is now the only fraud platform in PartnerStack’s toolkit, and has even become a white label feature for their partners and vendors. Sift Payment Protection is integrated as a system of the partner platform, giving vendors control over their own partner network. Sift has provided PartnerStack with the ability to find duplicate users and identify networks of fraudsters, which has proven vital to refining and safeguarding their partner network. The Sift Workflows feature helps the team stay efficient by leveraging machine learning models and real-time scoring based on more than 16k fraud signals.

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.
