UserScape

"HelpSpot, a PHP application, is generally a breeze to install on Linux or Unix. Unfortunately, getting PHP running--and hooked to Microsoft SQL Server--on Windows is tricky at best and left us spending a significant amount of time with our customers to get them up and running.

We wanted to alleviate this pain for our customers while giving them a more familiar Windows-like experience when installing HelpSpot. The team at BitRock was able to put together a custom solution for us which not only allowed our users to install the standard WAMP stack but also optionally offered installing PHP with IIS and SQL Server.

Through the development process they provided truly awesome customer service by being extremely responsive and delivering a high quality product. It's been a huge success with our customers and in reducing some of our support load; HelpSpot installations on a Windows server are completed in minutes rather than hours.

BitRock knows how to deliver great support and when you're talking about something as important as your products installer, nothing less will do."

- Ian Landsman, Founder and President, UserScape.

About UserScape
UserScape is the creator of HelpSpot, an easy to use, web-based customer service portal.




Splunk

"Before using the BitRock installer we lived a nightmare in trying to build a dozen different platform specific installers. Maintaining and testing each was expensive and time consuming, adding tens of thousands of dollars to our capital budget as well as adding a 30% overhead to our release process."

"The BitRock installer has cut our build/test capital needs by 75%. The overhead in build/packaging for a dozen platforms is trivial. I now type in a command and I get installers that work on all the platforms I need to support. BitRock's installer was a lifesaver, dramatically cutting down our build/release times."

"Before BitRock, we distributed RPM's or tar files and relied on customers running configuration scripts and editing XML. Realizing that our customers were having trouble, we moved to capturing data during installation. It took us just a few hours to make a BitRock installation configuration wizard that captured the critical data our system needs to run successfully. Using BitRock has reduced our installation support issues by more than 50%. We had such success with the BitRock installer and found it so easy to use that we now are building multiple setup configuration scripts that users can run to change the parameters of our system - it's not just for installation."

- Erik Swan, Chief Technical Splunker
