In today’s fiercely competitive market, the key to survival is taking intelligent data-driven decisions quickly by processing large volumes of data. Whether large or small, enterprises are therefore turning towards data analytics to improve their business decisions and deliver superior customer experience. However, with enormous amounts of data emanating from various external sources like social media and customer feedback platforms, businesses face the challenge of unifying this unstructured external data with their internal databases to understand their customers better and adapt quickly to their ever changing tastes and preferences.
Traditional, analytics platforms do not unify external data with the internal database of the enterprise which leads to poor business decisions. This is where we come in.
