Companies today have a vast amount of data available to help them analyze and optimize their business performance. While it is a valuable resource for companies and brands, managing it effectively requires having a robust solution and reliable processes to extract, transform, cleanse and load data for analytics. However, this is easier said than done for a number of reasons. First, marketers purchase third-party data from multiple vendors in multiple formats, and also generate substantial volumes of internal data. Second, there is a substantial amount of complexity associated with transforming disparate data into a continuous, actionable flow of marketing intelligence. Finally, efficient and effective data integration requires automation and data domain expertise, starting from the business solutions to be addressed.

 

Analytic Edge has a strategic partnership with Fusion Point to provide data management solutions that help companies overcome these challenges. Fusion Point’s cloud-based end-to-end Data Management Platform (DMP) includes data inventory and evaluation, database design, data acquisition, quality assurance, harmonization, hosting, monitoring and extracting. The system retrieves data from any location (on-premise, cloud, vendor, data provider etc.) and in any format (database server, flat file, Excel, API, custom etc.). The data solution can be hosted in the cloud providing all required hardware, software and administrative resources, and the harmonized information can be easily made available to feed internal teams, key business partners or external systems.
