Case Study: Kelly Services Accelerates Market Rate Index Launch with SearchStax Managed Search

Kelly services employs searchstax cloud to manage their apache solr operations

Kelly Services, a global workforce solutions company, wanted to create a labor cost estimation tool for customers across different geographies. Because Kelly is not a technology company, it needed a partner to build and support the application and its Apache Solr search operations; it selected SearchStax Managed Search as part of the solution.

SearchStax, working with KMW Technologies, helped Kelly launch a Solr-based application on Microsoft Azure that ingests, normalizes, and visualizes labor trend data using NLP and deep learning. The collaboration accelerated Kelly’s time to market from inception to alpha to beta in just under 12 months, enabled 24×7 production support with 99.95% uptime, and helped Kelly bring its Market Rate Index product into production while differentiating the company in the market.
