auto scaling, fault tolerant and high capacity infrastructure,

using the following services provided by Amazon Web

Services.

Benefits / Results

Case Study

Client Profile

The client is division of the world's largest beverage company.

Globally, through the world's largest beverage distribution

system, consumers in more than 200 countries enjoy their

sparkling beverages, ready-to-drink coffees, juices, juice

drinks and beverages at the rate of 1.8 billion servings a day!

Business Situation

The client sources the market research data from one of the

largest market research companies, which provides around

34 trillion data points of relevant market research data, which

was made available to client using their proprietary tool. The

market research department of client would then work

through this data for about two months to manually create a

220 tabbed excel report. Most of the report generation

process was manual; giving scope to human errors. Creating

reports was extremely time consuming and an expensive

process.

This was a very inefficient approach since there was loss of

valuable time until the report was published. Most of the

process was manual; giving scope to human errors. The

reports were shared through emails, physical documents

creating lack of flexibility and easy availability. Creating new

reports was extremely time consuming and an expensive

process. The client has to source some of the data from one of

the largest market research companies, which usually turned

out to be expensive.

Big Data : Market Research


Solution Approach

We got the data from the market research company in the

form of raw database files, and processed this data, to

generate a macro level database in the form of OLAP cubes, to

be served to end users through a web based, advanced data

visualization platform called iCharts. Since this was a huge

data set that needs to be processed and analyzed, the data

Benefits / Results

Fully automatic process preventing any human errors.

Quick turnaround of reports and the monthly data is now

available to managers within 3 days.

Highly organized dashboard, with advanced data

visualization capabilities like filtering.

Access controlled dashboard to give selective access to

different users.

Individual reports can be downloaded, to be shared with

management.

Availability of filtered raw data allows for creating new

reports in short time, with fractional cost.

Intermediate database allows for merging data from

other sources to create an integrated report.

Built on open source technology stack, thereby saving

tremendous cost on software licenses.

Case Study

Client Profile

Awarded the best "Customer Loyalty Program" award by Asia

Retail Congress, imint is known as the common element between

brands, retailers and local merchants that could deliver a superior

shopping experience.

Some brands were running their own loyalty programs but

consumers were disillusioned with these programs as they did

not see value in them. It took too long to collect points and mostly,

the points could be redeemed for items that had a poor perceived

value. Also, there were too many cards in the consumer's wallet.

That's when the idea of i-mint was conceived whereby a single

card could be used across a network of brands and local

merchants to accumulate points. A consumer would have to carry

only one card and all the points that he earned across different

categories of spends would get aggregated on one card. Hence, a

consumer can earn large number of points quickly and redeem

them for better rewards.

Business Situation

The previous design of the portal had availability issues. The

downtime was severe and significantly high crippling the

operations. The user interface and user experience had failed to

live to the expectation of the stakeholders and customers. The

customers were not able to redeem points due to the outage

result ing in unacceptable portal behavior and bad user

experience. When the business grew in size with more vendors

being pooled to offer their products. The portal failed to scale and

cost the company.

It was a typical Java/J2EE portal built with MySQL as backend and

hosted on Apache. While the setup was in place, the system had

many issues with regard to handling and development of code.

When there were concurrent users, the load test failed and the

go and throughout the lifecycle of the project.

portal shut down. When more vendors wished to showcase their

products, the system could scale only beyond a number and crash

thereafter. Hence, from a technical and business standpoint, it

was decided to scrap the entire project and start ground-up.

Solution Approach

The client approached Compassites initially to create a user

interactivity module. Eventually they enlarged the scope to the

development to the entire portal's development. Compassites

went on to create the portal ground-up by restructuring the portal

using Java\J2EE. We built a reliable front-end by bringing onboard

the most user-friendly features and handled the performance

issue with a judicious mix of business acumen and technology

edge. The various features there were built later into the portal

greatly enriched the user experience.

With the change in layout, logo and multi-features, more vendors

came forward to exhibit their products and customers were more

than willing to redeem their points as the uptime was to a close

99.9%. It was a phenomenal achievement in a timespan of just 5

months, by which the system was rigorously tested, soft launched

and then taken live for production.

Benefits / Results

The redemption increased by 70% and the number of online

customers and vendors increased.

The user experience went up, so did the comfort factor.

There was no outage faced ever since and downtime became

a rarity.

The portal became very consistent and reliable in terms of

behavior.

We enabled the client to articulate their business models

effectively.

Client Profile

Authentix is the global leader in authentication and tracking

solutions for excise tax recovery and brand protection. As the

inventor and developer of many of the leading nano-scale

authentication solutions in use today, Authentix is renowned

in the realm of verification and validation using a world-class

technology portfolio.

Business Situation

Tobacco tax evasion is a problem that costs federal and state

governments billions per year. This creates challenges in

securing the manufacturing, distribution, and application of

the tax stamps. Tracking of cigarette packs throughout their

distribution would enable tax authorities to ensure proper

tax collection, but currently taxes on cigarettes are collected

via a stamp system that has very limited track and trace

capabilities. In order to manage tobacco tax revenue

col lect ion efficiently and securely, i t is necessary to

significantly improve tax stamp security features and

transition stamp distribution from a centralized print and

distribute model to a secure print-on-demand model.

Solution Approach

Authentix partnered with Compassites in creating the Digital

Solution along with RED Stamp, Inc. and Assure Digitax to

offer the next generation solution for tobacco tax revenue

management and recovery. This unique system enables tax

collection authorities to collect tax revenues effectively and

track the status of legally issued stamps electronically. This

solution brings tax stamps into the digital era by eliminating

the need for expensive and vulnerable inventories of printed

stamps while providing real-time auditing and immediate

cash retrieval. The Authentix Digital Tax Stamp Solution

significantly improves security and operational efficiency of

tax stamp production, distribution and monitoring. With the

Authentix solution, cigarette distributors and licensees can

print, authenticate, and report tax stamp consumption

electronically. This high-tech system combines the latest in

nano-scale security technologies, sophisticated encryption

technologies and secure e-commerce services.

Benefits / Results

Each stamp includes multiple layers of overt, covert and

forensic security features.

Digital validation since each stamp is validated in-line post

application.

The equipment applying the stamp can be monitored

remotely by the authorities.

Stamping now is at the rate of 100 cartons per minute, as

opposed to traditional systems which did about 70

This solution offers the ability to generate real time

reports, rather than waiting for monthly reports to be

filed.

Due to 24/7 availability and access to data, auditing

capabilities and accuracy are improved.
