Black Friday - Customer Case Study

Black Friday.com, a major online retailer, faced a catastrophic challenge just 72 hours before one of its busiest sales periods when critical phone systems across its contact centers began crashing due to hardware faults.

The company engaged IR Prognosis for its expertise to avert a complete system failure and ensure operational continuity.

The solution from IR Prognosis utilized its predictive analytics platform to monitor for specific leading indicators of system failure. This provided IT staff with intelligent alerts up to 15 minutes before a crash, allowing them to switch to redundant servers and maintain 100% uptime. By implementing IR Prognosis, the customer successfully navigated the Black Friday period and maintained uninterrupted service through the New Year, safeguarding billions in potential sales.
