Case Study: Ellie Mae achieves faster, more reliable employee safety response with Dataminr

Ellie Mae - Customer Case Study

Ellie Mae, a mortgage software company with about 1,700 employees, faced sudden operational and safety risk when the Spencer Dam broke after a Midwest “bomb cyclone,” flooding towns around Omaha. Ellie Mae’s Workplace Safety team used Dataminr’s real-time alerting service to gather up-to-the-minute information on the unfolding flood and assess risks to employees and facilities.

Dataminr’s AI-driven alerts — processing billions of signals from more than 200,000 public sources — feed Ellie Mae’s 24/7 Safety Operations Center and filter out noise so analysts receive actionable notifications. Using Dataminr, the team provided flood photos, accounted for affected employees, temporarily closed the Omaha satellite office, reduced manual monitoring time, and gave executives timely recommendations to protect people and assets.
