Slingshot is pleased to announce the appointment of Steven Borr as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). With an extensive background in the pharmaceutical industry, Mr. Borr brings a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing the sector. His journey with Slingshot began as a customer, where he experienced firsthand how the company’s innovative software solutions streamline operations and enhance compliance.

As CRO, Mr. Borr will lead sales, marketing, and strategic growth initiatives, leveraging his industry expertise to drive Slingshot’s expansion. His unique perspective — shaped by years of working within the pharma supply chain and manufacturing sectors — positions him well to align Slingshot’s offerings with the evolving needs of pharmaceutical companies. Under his leadership, Slingshot aims to strengthen its market presence and continue delivering cutting-edge solutions that improve efficiency and regulatory compliance across the industry.

At Slingshot, we are committed to continuous innovation and ensuring seamless business continuity for our clients. As part of this commitment, we have successfully migrated all Microsoft Azure resources supporting Slingshot Cloud customers from the Classic deployment model to the modern Azure Resource Manager (ARM) model.

This transition streamlines resource management, improving the reliability and efficiency of the Slingshot SaaS infrastructure. With ARM, we can deploy multiple interconnected resources simultaneously while maintaining referential integrity—improving both deployment speed and system stability.

From a security perspective, ARM-based resources offer a significant advantage by leveraging Azure’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for more granular access management. Additionally, performance monitoring has been expanded, allowing us to track and optimize key parameters with greater precision.

Most importantly, this migration ensures the long-term stability of the Slingshot Cloud platform. As ARM is now the standard for Azure resource management, our clients can trust that their applications are running on a future-proof infrastructure.

The migration was conducted following thorough research and testing. The Slingshot systems’ end users experienced no disruptions during the transition. This achievement underscores our dedication to providing secure, reliable, and high-performance cloud experience for our customers.

Slingshot has announced a number of enhancements to its system monitoring tools.

Customers hosted on MS Azure will benefit from our Cloud Monitoring enhancements.   All of the system web endpoints are now monitored separately. The main endpoint health check now also verifies the database availability as well as the background services status. In addition, the Slingshot health monitoring suite also tracks the DB and File storage utilization to make sure the resources never reach their size quota.  The support team receives an email instantly when a fault is discovered in any of these areas.  This allows Slingshot to immediately investigate and resolve the issue, often, before it affects the end users.  These new features were installed earlier this year and are being utilized for hosted customers today.

Both SaaS and On-Premise customers are protected by the new Job Monitor Alert.  This alert regularly checks all background jobs reporting any that have failed recently as well as jobs that have been running for an extended time.  It also reports the jobs that have a scheduled run time in the past.  This indicates they were skipped by the job processor or experienced an unhandled error.  As with all alerts, a message describing the issue appears on our customer’s application administrator dashboard and/or is provided in a periodic email.  The Job Monitor alert is part of Release G2-17 scheduled for general availability in January of 2024.

According to Paul Carr, Slingshot’s CEO, “These new facilities add to our library of backup, recovery, reconciliation and other housekeeping tools allowing us to provide unmatched application availability and resilience.”
