About The Customer
Esri is the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, location intelligence and mapping, helping customers unlock the full potential of data to improve operational and business results. Founded in 1969, Esri software is deployed in more than 350,000 organisations including 90 of the Fortune 100 companies. Esri UK offers GIS solutions to a wide range of markets in both the public and private sector in the UK.
The Challenge
In late 2016, Esri UK faced a data integration challenge. There was a specific use case the company needed to support, with multiple data sources that needed to be connected together to better manage and report on key business information. They needed to pull down information on technical support cases, product utilization statistics and licensing, which was all in several different systems. Their existing software could not support the technical requirements of these integrations. They wanted to connect to multiple API web services using SOAP/XML with the ability to pass dynamic values in the header segment. With just a small team and without the necessary software development skills to build the required solution in-house, Esri UK was not able to support such a deployment and needed to look elsewhere.
The Solution
Esri UK went on to trial Jitterbit Harmony which came out 'head and shoulders' above competing solutions according to Ted, with a high level of engagement from the Jitterbit team throughout the trial. Ted worked closely with the Jitterbit team before implementation, which he believes was 'invaluable in showing that the platform did what we needed it to do technically, and get us up and running quickly'. He was also impressed with the onboarding and introductory videos that he says made the initial setup easy. 'Having been through Jitterbit University, I had the skills to be able to build the integrations we needed,' he says.

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.
