Productivity
Gridsoft, an Australian tech company, is driving an aggressive product roadmap at the forefront of agentic AI in the energy sector.
With teams moving fast, leadership needed clearer weekly insight to maintain delivery confidence. Productivity data existed, but could thrive with an opportunity to benchmark performance, plan hiring accurately, and ensure operational costs scaled efficiently.
Solution:
Happening Intelligence’s Weekly Productivity Intelligence to provide actionable insights into team and individual contributions.
- Data-driven hiring pipeline: Integrated productivity metrics to ensure new hires matched top performers
- Benchmarking & forecasting: Used productivity data to set realistic expectations and identify skill gaps before hiring
- Continuous feedback loop: Enabled managers to adjust hiring and team strategies weekly based on real-time trends
Results:
- Shipped more than triple the number of features next quarter, and continuing to maintain this level of output ongoing
- Clear reductions in production issues and rework
- Engineering managers thrilled with actionable insights to keep their teams efficient
This approach scales across industries with remote teams and rapid growth, including fintech, health tech, and digital marketing. Weekly Productivity Intelligence can also optimise training programs, performance reviews, and resource allocation.
ISO 27001
A mid-size Australian tech company had a major enterprise opportunity on the table, when ISO 27001 suddenly became a requirement.
With a remote workforce dependent on laptops, desktops, and personal devices, maintaining encryption, secure authentication, and up-to-date antivirus across all endpoints was nearly unmanageable. This was made more difficult by teams spread across multiple regions. Manual enforcement of Windows updates and secure Wi-Fi policies would be costly and significantly disrupt productivity. Ongoing compliance would be daunting and resource-intensive.
Solution:
Happening Intelligence delivered audit-ready work environments from day one, purpose-built for security compliance.
- Real-time dashboards showing alignment with ISO 27001, with immediate alerts and automated remedies for unplanned deviations
- Silent enforcement of controls like secure Wi-Fi and USB restrictions, keeping teams productive
- Continuous monitoring with automated vulnerability scans and compliance alerts
- Automated administration, drastically reducing manual compliance effort
Results:
- Achieved certification before any scrutiny
- They were the only candidate that could prove they would continuously maintain compliance
- 48% less ongoing compliance costs than industry standard
Whether achieving certification for the first time or maintaining it long-term, Happening Intelligence is configurable across ISO 27001, SOC 2, Essential 8, NIST, HIPAA, and more.
Cost
Sentinel Health was budgeting for the next year when scaling costs became hard to justify, especially since they couldn’t pass them on to customers.
Short-term, high-volume projects required costly and time-consuming provisioning of laptops, shipping to multiple regions, hardening machines, and deploying security tooling. Ramp-downs left sunk hardware and licensing costs. Leadership needed a way to give new and temporary staff a compliant workspace instantly. Without buying, shipping, or building from scratch and while maintaining audit-ready security.
Solution:
Happening Intelligence deployed pre-built, secure workspaces on demand.
- Built-in security: Full-disk encryption, MFA, endpoint protection, and policy controls (USB restrictions, secure Wi-Fi) ready from day one
- No provisioning costs: Spin up or retire workspaces instantly via a self-service portal, aligning capacity to project timelines without hardware procurement
- Centralised compliance & telemetry: Continuous monitoring, automated patching, vulnerability scanning, and audit trails made each workspace audit-ready for SOC 2 or ISO 27001
Results:
- 65% reduction in upfront project setup costs
- Eliminated decommissioning and retrieval costs when projects ramp down
- 100% of workforce now aligned to SOC 2 ready machines
This model scales to any organisation with rapid change in demand, such as consulting, digital agencies, clinical trials, education, and government contracting. It also supports hybrid or remote teams where equipment logistics are impractical or slow.
