- Hi, my name is Sam and I'm a CPO at Nexthink.
- I'm Vedant Sampath, CTO at Nexthink.
(bright upbeat piano music)
- Today, employees face, you know,
a situation where it's extremely important for them
to be able to be productive and to use IT tools.
- When you think of it,
the employee is the critical asset.
I mean, I know it's said a lot,
but that is the secret of your growth in some ways.
And if you don't give them
the kind of opportunities to shine,
if their computers, their digital workspaces
don't work for them efficiently,
it impacts you and your business.
- What Nexthink allows to do
is really to change the perspective
of our IT departments are observing this environment.
If you think about the traditional tools,
they're looking at the data center,
they're looking at the network,
they're looking at the infrastructure.
But those are all side channels, in terms of observability.
It would like be driving a car only using your side mirrors,
where you don't see what is in front of you.
And these IT departments are still expecting, in some ways,
employees to tell them what doesn't work.
So we use employees as a way to identify problems, right?
And do something that needs to change.
They need to have an observability point that matches
what is the experience for these employees,
and is what Nexthink is providing.
So probably the biggest benefits about Nexthink
is allowing IT departments
to become a true partner of the business,
going from a provider of solutions
to a real partner
that is able to enable the business
to have better tools, better solutions,
and better productivity for those employees.
Today we have over 1000 enterprise
and large enterprise customers worldwide.
And these numbers growing really, really quickly.
So, we really managed to grow
and reach this famous unicorn step, right?
(upbeat music)
Nexthink was born 18 years ago.
So at the time,
we were talking about on-premise software, right?
And our first step in the journey
was to move to Cloud solution
and now to Cloud Native solution with AWS.
So this has been instrumental,
in order to be able to speed up innovation
and to be able to target new markets much more quickly.
- So ours has been,
the migration started from on-prem to the Cloud,
and then there was a choice that was made
on the type of Cloud platform that we would use.
Once we made the decision on what we needed to do
to build a next generation platform,
the Cloud Native platform that we were building,
we had to analyze what were the components
that would make it really easy for us to do that?
For us to be able to,
to deal with this fire hose of data
that comes from all of the endpoints?
So for us, the choice was,
who has the best managed Kafka?
Who has the best managed services that we needed?
Kubernetes, Aurora, I mean the databases that we need.
And for us, AWS really stood out from that standpoint.
AWS is completely integrated into our offering
and every new capability,
at any managed service that we have,
we're using the managed API platform as well, for example.
So our ability to develop something this quickly
would've been a lot harder
if we didn't have the AWS Cloud infrastructure available,
and as well as the help from all of the solution architects
and the professional services from AWS available.
- So I work with different teams at Nexthink
and every time my goal
is to make sure that they can deliver
the best version of data application.
And this can take different forms.
It can be architecture reviews,
it can be presentation,
it can be some brainstorming session
with different teams at Nexthink,
developers, product teams, architecture teams, and so on.
- The thing I like about our AWS partnership
is that the team that we've been working with,
the account team that I work with and my team works with,
they're really focused on ensuring
that we have the most effective and cost efficient platform
that we can get.
- Nexthink was born as a Swiss company,
but now we're everywhere.
And the Cloud plays a huge importance to that
because it allows us to seamlessly
be anywhere in the planet.
So this is something that,
across the industry,
believe it's been a huge revolution.
- And our whole platform is based on AWS
so we wouldn't be where we are
without that infrastructure in place.
So AWS is critical for what we do.
