NISMagic

Generation one: the data platform (MasTec).

A structurally-encrypted analytics platform on Apache Spark SQL that automated cellular network-integration troubleshooting, and became a monetized revenue line.

Problem

Troubleshooting that didn’t scale

  • Multiple unneeded site visits for Tiger Teams.
  • Long waits for support that might not fix the issue.
  • Unknown software issues and a shortage of expertise to identify and resolve complex problems.
Approach

Proof-based, encrypted analytics

  • An end-to-end, structurally-encrypted relational database on Apache Spark SQL (Python, Java, Node.js).
  • A REST API automating cellular-network integration scripting.
  • A proof-based problem-identification mechanism with comprehensive E2E issue review & recommendation.
  • Cloud-based infrastructure for scale, with end-to-end encryption throughout.
Results

Faster fixes, new revenue, hardened security

  • Annual savings of over $1 million for the operator.
  • Reduced Tiger-Team site visits and materially faster troubleshooting.
  • 98% reduction in security-breach incidents through structural encryption.
  • Enhanced back-billing of previously unidentified issues; platform monetized to $400K+ ARR.
