The challenge
Fragmented data is leaving your customers with flawed experiences.
A complete view of your customers gives your company a competitive advantage. The problem is knowing where to start. You need to make informed decisions by integrating the right data from all customer touchpoints so business users and analytics teams alike aren’t bogged down in fragmented data. You probably recognize the following issues:
“I’m under pressure to make the most of our marketing budget.”
When marketing budgets get cut or re-appropriated, it’s critical to make data-driven investment decisions to reach your goals more effectively.
“I need a better way to identify qualified customers and prospects.”
Many companies today use a variety of tools and technologies to manage customer interactions. When data sets don’t talk to one another, your best customers get lost.
“My customers demand consistent experiences.”
Your organization has many groups driving customer interaction and engagement, but to the single customer receiving all these messages, you are one brand. Disparate data sets leave you with a disjointed customer view and inconsistent messaging.
Signs of data disintegration:
Your analytics team is flooded with inefficient, ad-hoc requests from internal stakeholders.
Your disparate data systems result in an incomplete view of your customers.
You’re unable to make predictable marketing investments.
You’re working with data systems that don’t link online and offline counterparts.
You’re unable to get real-time actionable information and insights.
"84% of marketing executives describe identifying users, personalizing messaging, and measuring impact as ‘very important to growth..."
"…but only 14% report having ‘strong capabilities in these areas."
