Case Studies

See how Facebook, Airbnb, Target, and IBM did it
 

What if you had a map from others who have already solved the problems you’re working on? You’d definitely want to see what they had done. O’Reilly case studies help you get to solutions faster. They show how other organizations mapped the same territory you’re facing and made great changes happen.

O’Reilly case studies put key players in the spotlight—real people at companies you know—as they describe the problems they faced, how they worked to overcome them, and what the results were, or how they met the challenge of new opportunities. You’ll get practical takeaways and fresh insights you can apply to your own work.

First presented at O’Reilly conferences, case studies give you the ultimate insider experience.
