Outsourcing Allows Back-up Services Provider to Retain Market Leadership
"An approach in shaping requirements and moving towards results is more productive and efficient," says Nick Puntikov, president, Eastern Europe, for Exigen Services. He was not concerned about Intronis providing specifications. "They are good at thinking about the future of the product and understanding the market. But they are a bit lost when it comes to developing specifications. So it was easier to do it ourselves."
The Exigen team quickly recognized it didn't need to redesign the application to achieve the desired goals. They uncovered an algorithm they could modify to produce the requisite results. The updated algorithm cut the time to complete an archive scan from almost four hours to less than two minutes. The improved software effectively lowers the storage cost for Intronis customers by up to 50 percent.
