Markethings customer case

Markethings and Ikoula, a relationship based on trust

Markethings is a company founded in May 2018. The startup was born of a seemingly simple objective: to enable sales and marketing teams to reduce their prospecting and research time while delivering more fiable and accurate results thanks to Big Data. How do we achieve this? By aggregating legal and financial databases in Open Data and using their own search engine, i.e. 11 million companies and 4 million websites.

Problematic

To launch its platform, Markethings had multiple issues. Firstly, they wanted to be able to count on an available hosting provider who could guide and support them in the technical set-up of the infrastructure. Secondly, there was the issue of scalability, so as to be able to anticipate business growth and infrastructure scalability. Finally, the platform required significant computing power, as well as the latest SSD (NVMe) technology.

Why choose Ikoula?

Markethings had the choice of changing provider to gain in support quality and availability, which Ikoula could guarantee. In addition, they were attracted by the Boost My Startup program, because for them it represented not only the support they needed at this stage of their development, but also a strong sign of mutual aid between French players in the digital sector.

When Markethings contacted us, we were able to meet all their requirements. Thanks to this, we were able to lay the first brick in the relationship of confiance that now exists between our two companies.

Suggested solutions

To make the service work, Markethings had specific needs in terms of technology and services. To meet these needs, we proposed a dedicated professional server meeting their requirements in terms of power and NVMe storage. Today, the service perfectly meets their needs.
