About The Customer
Ivanti is a Utah-based IT software company specializing in IT security, IT service management, IT asset management, unified endpoint management, identity management, and supply chain management. The company provides solutions to customers worldwide, aiming to streamline and secure IT operations. Ivanti faced challenges in their collections process, which was manual and labor-intensive, leading to inefficiencies and delays. The company sought to leverage artificial intelligence to automate and improve their collections process, enhance visibility, and enable digital transformation in their operations. Ivanti's goal was to reallocate analysts' time to higher priority tasks and achieve better results through automation and AI-driven solutions.
The Challenge
Ivanti faced significant roadblocks in their operations due to siloed processes and lack of centralization, leading to limited visibility into operations. The collections process was heavily manual, consuming over 50% of analysts' time in tasks like dialing for dollars, writing emails, and requesting escalations. There was no centralized repository for tracking reminders, emails, notes, or P2Ps, resulting in a lack of ownership among teams and no visibility for C-suite members to analyze business unit performance. Additionally, there was no standardized strategy for work list prioritization, and cultural and language barriers caused delays in collecting payments. The cumulative result was minimal access to real-time data, making it difficult for collectors to focus on critical accounts.
The Solution
Ivanti implemented an AI-enabled collections solution provided by HighRadius. The solution automated the prioritization of work lists, improved collector productivity, and automated dunning across all accounts. It also implemented reporting frameworks at employee and CXO levels, enabling real-time tracking of performance and ownership of accounts. Dashboards were used to monitor metrics like the collector efficiency index (CEI), cost of AR operations, and DSO reduction. The AI solution provided accurate predictions of accounts payable based on consumer payment behavior patterns, helping Ivanti assess high-risk customers and prioritize contacts accordingly. The solution also automated the capture and recording of customer calls, notes, and P2Ps, saving analysts' time for more critical tasks. Additionally, it provided real-time tracking insights into payments and was user-friendly with support in multiple languages, simplifying cross-country correspondence for collections.

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.
