BUSINESS PROBLEM

Securitoad started as a way to keep DC Comics safe during Comicon against the changing threats to website. When end users tried view metrics about traffic and what was blocked the simple command line interface wasn't accessible or easy to understand.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Metal Toad started building a dashboard for Securitoad but needed a way to easily display metrics that are easy for the end user to see and filter. 

Amazon Quicksight was selected for several of its advanced features, like Row-Level Security, which allowed the data to be restricted to client accounts, and Table Calculations for building rich graphs for users to view.

IMPACT

With Amazon Quicksight Metal Toad was able to build out a fully featured dashboard faster than creating their own. All while ensuring that data was protected.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

Playing TTRPG goes beyond just playing time and games. There are play styles, safety tools, and play environments. Complicating things further, many games last more than one session and can span months or years. to ensure that RPGMatch was achieving their goal, they needed a solution to anonymize data and report back on demographic information and user behavior.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

RPGMatch approached Metal Toad with the need to view player demographics to ensure they were  achieving their mission of reaching the full TTRPG Community. 

Metal Toad set up a data pipeline that allowed them to anonymise user data and store it in Athena at a regular cadence. Once in Athena Metal Toad utilized Amazon Quicksight to graph user demographics, like location, Games Played,  and play preferences. 

After the inital graphs were setup, Metal Toad was able to leverage Amazon Quicksights emails to send out daily reports to stake holders and forecast to see projected user signups, 

IMPACT

With Amazon Quicksight reporting and notifications, RPGMatch has been able to stay current on the site's user demographics and make business decisions to better serve the community.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

Despite its global fame, the GRAMMY Awards found itself struggling to capture the interest and engagement of younger audiences. The traditional viewing experience was no longer resonating with the preferences and expectations of the newer generation. This generational disconnect posed a threat to the continued relevance and popularity of the GRAMMY brand

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

In response to the generational gap challenge, Metal Toad collaborated closely with the onsite GRAMMY team to implement a groundbreaking solution - integrating five video streams, all delivered seamlessly via AWS directly to viewers' browsers. This innovative approach aimed to provide a more dynamic and personalized online viewing experience for the audience.

IMPACT

The implementation of Metal Toad's technology solution had a transformative impact on the GRAMMY viewing experience. Both during the live event and across the globe, the GRAMMY Awards became the talk of the town

Whenever a big sweepstake was launched, avid fans would descend on the website and often overtax its servers. 

 
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Moving the site’s servers to the cloud provided the elasticity Wheel of Fortune needed. 

 
IMPACT

When the team launches new sweepstakes, preventative scaling is used to double, triple, or even quadruple their capacity to match expected traffic.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

The issue was outdated tech: Sony Rewards was hosted on old physical IBM servers. There was no way to scale up capacity when needed, and the clunky legacy infrastructure led to unreliability.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Metal Toad’s first order of business was to get the site’s capacity up to snuff with an elastic cloud solution using Amazon Web Services (AWS). Now their server capacity can stretch to meet traffic demands.

IMPACT

In past years, site outages during Black Friday weekend caused Sony Rewards to lose customers. Last year, we doubled their server capacity—and kept the site humming (and generating revenue) all weekend.

BUSINESS PROBLEM

GeniusVets has been tracking and recording inbound calls for their clients for years, and providing clients with the ability to listen back and flag problem calls for training purposes. The only problem? There are simply too many calls to be realistically handled by human reviewers.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

GeniusVets partnered with Metal Toad to develop an AI call review system. Utilizing AWS tools, including Amazon Transcribe Speech-To-Text and SageMaker, Metal Toad created a system that identifies the small fraction of calls that need to be reviewed by a human. This will allow human reviewers to focus on the “needles”, not the “haystack,” and thus better train their teams.

IMPACT

With calls now being evaluated by the AI in advance, GeniusVets clients can easily find the handful of calls that they need to review most of all. This makes their managers more effective, streamlines training, and ultimately increases practice growth and profitability by helping turn more of these new callers into life-long clients.

 
BUSINESS PROBLEM

DC Entertainment site is routinely crawled by third parties looking for security vulnerabilities or new leaks ahead of announcements.

 
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
