The Challenge
PeopleDoc, a leading provider of SaaS HR platforms, needed a solution that could meet its complex requirements while also complying with the legal framework set out by GDPR. The company aimed to optimize communication and streamline administrative processes between HR departments and employees. However, they lacked a system that could handle complicated data modelling, provide access to real-time accurate data, ensure highly confidential HR information was secure and offer an intuitive user experience.
The Solution
PeopleDoc integrated Looker, the business intelligence (BI) and analytics platform from Google Cloud, to deliver standardized dashboards and insights to its clients to help streamline HR processes. With Looker, HR departments can seamlessly and securely integrate data insights and dashboards into their day-to-day workflows. This gives them instant visibility into previous unknowns, such as how much time an employee takes to sign a contract and what categories of HR requests are received most frequently. Powered by Looker delivered the critical capabilities needed to handle complicated data modelling, provide access to real-time accurate data, ensure highly confidential HR information was secure and offer an intuitive user experience.

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.
