Paychex helps over half a million small to medium-sized businesses with their HR needs.



Case Study of Paychex


A partial view: Paychex is known for their customized services, so even when their prospects start with an online search inquiry, they tend to call just as often as they complete a form. Tracking and optimizing for those phone call leads wasn’t possible with the online advertising management software that Paychex was using, so they added call tracking analytics to their arsenal of tools.

Case Studies of Katsina and Dreamcatcher Traditions

Every summer, thousands of climbers and nearly half a million other tourists flock to Devils Tower in Wyoming due to its spectacular views and challenging climbing conditions. And every summer, members of several different Native American tribes travel to the religious site known as Bear Lodge, their name for Devils Tower, to perform religious rituals such as the Sun Dance.

Case Studies of Katsina and Dreamcatcher Traditions

The Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, Kiowa, and Lakota all recognize Devils Tower as a sacred religious site, “grant it a prominent place in their mythology and oral histories, and in the past probably used it for individual religious observances” (Brown 2003: 152). The result is a battle between the Native Americans who see and use the site for religious purposes and the non-Indians who see the site as simply nature at its best.

Human Kinetics Case Study

Illinois-based Human Kinetics (HK) publishes print, online, and multimedia materials related to kinesiology. It hosts its own e-commerce website and nearly 40 other educational and storefront sites, which together get about half a million unique visits per month. A year after its deployment, HK’s third-party network solution had become unstable, was inflexible and difficult to support, and impaired performance, which led to significant downtime. HK replaced the solution with F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) and BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM). Since then, system performance has improved two to three times, downtime is virtually eliminated, and the system provides far better security and access control. Click here to read more…
