UnlimitedViz: stunningly sophisticated solutions help you to collaborate better and measure the success of your digital transformation initiatives

Usually, businesses tend to adapt, progress, and become more complex as they evolve. If there is no structured approach for digital transformation, then the organization will be left behind. This is where Office 365 can help. We must place the employees in the heart of the digital transformation project so that results can be delivered through Office 365. Digitization is disrupting almost every business, and it is rapidly spreading like wildfire across every sector. Digital transformation is a continuous process, so overnight success cannot be expected. Technology is evolving quickly, and it will undoubtedly change, so it isn’t easy to plan too far ahead. Measuring the return from digital transformation is ideal for making timely course correction for improving the success rate of adoption. The data gathered from this will help you in understanding the progress of the adopted technology.

Enterprises globally have now standardized on Office 365 - ‘the Modern Workplace’ as their platform of choice for collaboration and content management. Though the investment in digital transformation has been made, truly measuring success is a daunting task for leadership. TyGraph was built to measure success with empirical evidence. UnlimitedViz Inc. is the maker of the tyGraph. The company was founded in 2006 and is based in Ontario, Canada. The main motto of the company is to build smart analytical solutions for Office 365. The data collected from the 365 suite will help you in understanding the pattern that will impact workforce effectiveness, productivity, and employee engagement. With this newly gained insight, you can understand the way people and teams work. As an example, tyGraph includes a Digital Transformation Scorecard (DTS) that weights usage patterns to help leaders know exactly how the platform has been adopted and ensure users are engaging effectively, thereby driving the maximum ROI from their investment. After the initial baseline analysis is delivered, customers use the tyGraph to understand adoption patterns better and monitor the impacts of strategic initiatives over time. Champion identification and collaboration patterns are the pillars of any organizational change management program, and the tyGraph has been purpose-built to provide this evidence. Concurrently, tyGraph is used by Human Resources and Communication departments to understand better how corporate messages are landing. Beyond just speeds and feeds like activity, tyGraph can tease out a more sophisticated analysis like sentiment and work behavior patterns.

Interview Highlights: Ed Senez, CEO and Co-Founder of UnlimitedViz Inc.

Q. Can you tell us about your products and services in brief?

We cater to large enterprise customers, including Microsoft themselves as a customer. Our secret sauce is our ability to process very granular audit level transaction data and turn it into meaningful signals. We take those signals and deliver rich reports and dashboards, giving stakeholders and leadership insights that were not possible to obtain previously. We currently do this for all of Office 365 -Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, Skype, and Exchange. Engineering to an Enterprise scale has taught us a lot about how to scale-up. Our forthcoming releases will also allow tyGraph to scale out in a friction-free way to mid-sized companies.

Q. What kind of responses have you received from your clients over the years? How did they motivate you to grow the company?

Our customers are our biggest source of good ideas. We are Lean Start-up practitioners, and customer input is invaluable to this value chain. Nothing is more motivating to a developer than seeing their work efforts used in production and seeing customer success. Obviously, the ability to be recognized as an industry leader is equally motivating.

Q. Artificial Intelligence has been the buzzword, and it will continue to hit the stride. Do you think IT enterprises should embrace AI to drive business processes?

I like to distinguish between Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Historically ML used to be for the white lab coat professionals, and AI was a pipe dream. Over the past several years, companies like Microsoft have made these capabilities into consumable service. A key to making this technology work at scale is to have appropriate test use cases to try ML/AI engines against. The Cloud, by its very nature, is the perfect development ground for these algorithms to be honed to near perfection. We have incorporated several ML Services into the tyGraph. Given that it was a consumable service, our work efforts could focus on what to do with these signals instead of developing the core plumbing. Reliability grows as these services continue to ‘learn’ in the crowd sourced model.

Q. How do you manage to serve the needs of highly volatile market?

We thrive on evolution because that’s what creates opportunity. We live and breathe bleeding edge technologies. We should also recognize our tight partnership with Microsoft. Having early access to their forward-thinking developments and input into their engineering outcomes allows us to stay ahead of the curve and ensure we’re developing products to fill gaps instead of trying to compete head-on with a multibillion-dollar entity.  

Q. What is your growth rate?

 We have double-digit growth currently, but that vector has been more of a hockey stick over the past 18 months. With some of our soon to be released versions, we expect to hit triple-digit growth very shortly.
