“From the beginning, I was able to see that it was a really flexible platform with the custom JSON schemas you can make…that’s one of the primary reasons I went with Snowplow”

– Mason McLead, CTO of Software.com

The challenge

Data is fundamental to Software.com’s mission. They need high-quality behavioral data delivered in near real time in order to provide their users with genuine value. Prior to implementing Snowplow, however, Software.com’s data team was struggling to collect and manage this data. Given the breadth of sources it collects data from, the team was spending a considerable amount of time cleaning and transferring data into another format. On top of this, their servers weren’t keeping up with the pace of new installs, locking up as new users increased significantly. 

The solution

For Software.com, Snowplow provided a flexible, scalable way of getting high-quality behavioral data in real time. With Snowplow delivering behavioral data in a single, unified and versioned format from multiple sources, Software.com’s data team has been freed up to work on more meaningful projects and drive the growth of the company forward.
