Customers

Salesforce

Salesforce is a leading internet technology company that has been pioneering customer resource management since 1999 to increase the productivity of their customers.

"Before Storage Browser for Amazon S3, our customers had no easy way to find the data in S3 that they wanted to work with in Data Cloud and use with other Salesforce tools. Customers would have to use their own S3 clients outside of Data Cloud to find the data in S3, then input the resource path for that data into our S3 connector, and repeat the process to import each individual object. With Storage Browser for S3, we will be able to provide a simple interface for data in S3 directly within Data Cloud, so our customers can easily find and work with all the data they need in S3, without ever having to leave the Data Cloud interface."

ITV

ITV is one of the largest TV producers in the world, making what matters since 1955.

"We work with several post production facilities that need an easy way to send us terabytes of data curated from the raw footage. We have historically relied on external hard drives and courier services to move this data from the various post house facilities to our storage on premises, which has been inefficient and costly. With Storage Browser for S3, these post houses will be able to upload data directly to our S3 buckets, which will make it much easier to govern and manage the data and help us reduce costs."
