Case Study: Differential achieves faster app delivery and scalable, managed databases with IBM Hybrid Cloud

Helping clients bring new digital products to life

Differential, a 25-person digital product agency, needed to spend more time building client-facing apps and less on infrastructure and database administration. To accelerate development and avoid operational overhead, Differential partnered with IBM, adopting IBM Compose (Compose for MongoDB) as part of an IBM Hybrid Cloud approach.

IBM delivered a managed PaaS and database-as-a-service that removed tedious IT admin, provided elastic scaling, and let Differential focus on building interactive solutions—like a 3D closet-design app integrated with a client ERP. The IBM Compose-based solution boosted developer productivity, sped time-to-market, enabled the small Differential team to support growing client demand without extra ops effort, and helped clients such as Organized Living replace spreadsheet-based ordering and increase consumer sales.
