The Three “S’s” of a Great Incentive Compensation Management System

July 23, 2018

It all ties together. You want your sales reps to behave a certain way and close a certain amount of deals in specific verticals that match your company’s 3- and/or 5-year vision, but the systems you currently have in place to drive this behavior are not working for any number of reasons. Most likely, they’re too slow. Or too complicated. Or not scalable. Almost certainly, it’s at least one of the above—if not all three. Growing companies, especially enterprises, need big solutions to handle their sales operation’s size and complexity.

Ravello systems

Ravello was founded in early 2011 with the sole purpose of changing the way companies, large and small consume the public cloud. Ravello is brought to you by the team that introduced the KVM hypervisor (now the standard virtualization technology in Linux). We have deep expertise in virtualization, cloud, networking and storage technologies.We realized that while cloud computing changes everything, there are significant gaps between the current state of IT and where it will be when the cloud is fully adopted. This creates challenges for enterprises and opportunities for start-ups.From our own experience, and from conversations with many leaders in the industry, it became apparent that while the public cloud has many advantages, to benefit from them one needs to completely rewrite applications and be fully dependent on a particular cloud provider or cloud management platform. We thought there should be a better way.

Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing

whitePaper | November 26, 2019

The buzz surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) is hard to ignore. Huge data sets and large amounts of compute are the perfect match for deep learning, astonishing us with algorithms that have beaten grandmasters at games of chess and Go. Today, with access to no more than a web browser, the benefits enabled by breakthroughs in image and speech recognition not to mention machine translation and more are just a few clicks away. There’s the growth of the cloud to consider too. We’re depositing more and more of our data on virtual drives that make it easier to share, back-up and transfer information providing us with new opportunities both in the office and at home. But what do machine learning and cloud computing mean for scientific research? How can these tools help researchers to manage and navigate the vast datasets generated by increasingly sophisticated detectors and experiments? At big science facilities, data streams that used to be megabits per second are now hundreds of times faster, sometimes even more, as detector upgrades come online and new instruments are installed. That’s a lot of data to analyse and verify.
