Work / AMERICAN PRESS INSTITUTE

American Press Institute

Helping a leader in the news industry scale their product suite to match increasing demand by migrating to AWS.

American Press Institute (API) is a non profit organization that works to advance and innovate the news industry through research, training, and tool-creation.

They had created an advanced online analytics and reporting system called Metrics for News, which provided media companies with insight into which stories brought the most readers. The product was extremely successful, and demand was outpacing their existing infrastructure. This posed potential problems in the future with scaling popularizing the service to larger customers and greater volume of users.

Hitting The Target

Client Review

Slingshot understood our unique vision.

★★★★★

It was clear they had a high level of expertise. They came up with a solution that fit our needs, and we felt involved during the entire process. We plan on working with Slingshot again, and see them as partners rather than another software vendor.
