Gaming Giants Win Big Data Challenge With Anodot to Keep Millions of Players in the Game

Anodot, the AI-powered analytics company, has emerged as a leading anomaly detection platform to optimize player experience and revenues for the gaming industry. It will showcase its solution at this year's Game Developers Conference, March 19-23 in San Francisco. At the conference, King , a leading interactive entertainment company for the mobile world, will present how Anodot's AI-driven data analytics has impacted its player engagement and revenues. Anodot's solutions have been deployed at King and other gaming powerhouses. These gaming leaders have built their business models around building strong player engagement. App crashes, glitches or performance issues interrupt gameplay, degrade player engagement and cause attrition - damaging hard-won brand equity and lowering revenue. For large scale games companies, traditional analytics can take days just to become aware of issues that hurt reputation and profits - and even longer to pinpoint the source of problems and rectify them. King leverages Anodot to gain real-time visibility and insights into its daily multi-terabyte data stream, which is generated by billions of events for each of the company's wildly-popular apps. With Anodot, King is able to predict and preempt incidents that may negatively impact business, as well as quickly detect and diagnose ongoing gaming operations incidents - resolving them before they result in reputational or revenue damage. "Even with our massive dataflow, Anodot has proven that it can seamlessly correlate data across millions of real-time streaming metrics - alerting us immediately so we can react instantly," said Nanako Yamagishi, Director of Incident and Service Operations at King. "We look forward to sharing with GDC participants how large-scale gaming apps can use AI-driven technology like Anodot to maintain real-time responsiveness at global scale." Anodot ensures that gamers remain engaged, ongoing game balancing is optimized, and that the games perform as intended - from both a business and technical point of view. Anodot enables online and mobile gaming companies like King to detect and diagnose game-specific issues early, resolve them quickly and take preemptive action to avoid reputational or revenue damage. Anodot catches the glitches and latencies that result from app updates, in-app ads, software releases and the myriad of anomalies that inevitably occur in dynamic, mass-scale, data-intensive gaming environments. "Gamers are savvy, fickle and demanding. Big name game companies realize that if the game experience is compromised in any way, revenues are lost and gamers will move on," said David Drai, CEO and Co-founder of Anodot. "Anodot offers our gaming clients peace of mind. We look forward to sharing our joint experiences with King at GDC," he concluded. King will be presenting on Thursday, March 22, at 11:30 in the Moscone Center, West 2nd Floor, Room 2000. Anodot will be showcasing its unique gaming solutions at GDC March 21-23 in Moscone South Hall Booth 2022.

Anodot, the AI powered analytics company, today announced that it appointed Andy Fenselau as Chief Marketing Officer, based in the company's Silicon Valley headquarters and Amit Levi as the VP Product, based in the Israel offices. This is the next step in Anodot's hyper-growth trajectory following a recent $23 million round of funding.

Andy Fenselau brings with him 22 years of success in driving transformational enterprise solutions to leading market positions across SaaS, storage, databases and management software, driving hyper growth from disruptor to market leadership. At Elastifile, Fenselau successfully launched and scaled the company globally, resulting in over 100% year-to-year growth.

Anodot’s AI-Powered Analytics Ensure Customer Satisfaction and Superior Uptime for LivePerson

LivePerson, the leading provider of mobile and online messaging business solutions, is leveraging Anodot’s AI-powered analytics solution to track massive amounts of business-critical data and metrics in real time. By catching hidden issues and uncovering glitches, Anodot enables LivePerson to avoid downtime so the 18,000 businesses relying on conversational interfaces, such as messaging, can connect with consumers continuously and smoothly. "We manage an extensive amount of data, so avoiding downtime for our customers is crucial,” said Oded Avissar, Director of IaaS Engineering at LivePerson. “Anodot surfaces potential issues in real time, helping LivePerson to continuously deliver on its mission to transform how consumers communicate with brands." LivePerson generates nearly 2 million metrics every 30 seconds in a global array of data centers. Adding to the complexity, many of LivePerson’s metrics are seasonal, meaning they increase and decrease over the course of a day or week. Anodot detects anomalies in this vast amount of streaming data, turning them into valuable business insights and alerting LivePerson to technical issues that correlate with customer data. Since Anodot is agnostic to data origin or type of data, it tracks metrics coming from a variety of sources, such as bare metal servers, application data, virtual machines, and customer behavior. “With millions of metrics coming in daily, companies don’t have the ability to efficiently track vast amounts of customer data without risking the potential of missing essential insights, which leads to damage monetarily and reputationally,” said David Drai, CEO and Co-founder of Anodot. “Our machine learning algorithms and data analytics software ensures that LivePerson and our other clients worldwide are alerted to issues in real time and guarantee customer satisfaction.” For more information, read the LivePerson case study.
