挑战
Mercer, a global consulting, outsourcing, and investments company, was looking for tools to improve the graphical capabilities of their dashboards. The existing in-house products were not keeping up with the times. The company was transitioning from a P&L-centric business to focusing more on clients and client profitability. This shift required dealing with a much larger dataset and providing leadership with a high-level view of the data, directing them where to focus. This need necessitated a more interactive, graphical tool rather than a simple PDF listing of information on a report.
解决方案
Mercer adopted Tableau for its data visualization needs. They started with a couple of desktop licenses and began building standalone dashboards to demonstrate the product's capabilities to senior executives. As interest grew, they rapidly expanded from a few desktop licenses to rolling out secured dashboards to 300 top leaders of the firm within a year or two. They evolved from a desktop view to a server view and started to push analyses out to the server. One of the early tools they built using Tableau was a productivity analysis tool that allowed business leaders to go from a business total view of utilization down to individual employees within three clicks. This tool provided a holistic view of what was happening at a high level all the way into the details.

Flex Contact Center: Supporting rapid business growth with IBM Connections Cloud and IBM Verse
Flex Contact Center, a professional services company offering telesales, call-center, anti-attrition, back-office, helpdesk and collection services, has grown rapidly since its establishment in 2009. With operations in 12 sites across two states and four cities in Brazil, the company employs more than 11,000 people.

Traditional approaches to collaboration—based on email and phone calls—threatened to reduce productivity. Flex Contact Center wanted to enable better collaboration and communication across its workforce, but did not want to make large investments in infrastructure.

PureFluent: Connecting to partners and customers through the cloud for enhanced productivity
PureFluent, a translation services company, was facing challenges in managing its translation and document review processes. The company often received files in uneditable formats from customers, which required staff members to transfer text to word processing or spreadsheet documents. During the translation process, maintaining version control was a challenge because PureFluent sent work to hundreds of translators in multiple geographic locations. It was also time-consuming for staff to manage the large volume of emails and FTP transactions required to submit translations for customer review and ensure the integration of requested changes. Furthermore, staff were spending significant time hunting through their emails for specific attachments.
