Great opportunities often start by making connections.  

When your organization’s data is connected, this can open up new opportunities.


“There are transformative benefits to unifying your company’s data across channels and departments, and making it available and accessible to every corner of the organization,” explains the Salesforce blog Great Data Alone Won’t Make You Data-Driven – This Will.

Data that’s connected and working for you can lead to increased efficiency, help you innovate, get the edge on your competition, and build stronger relationships with your customers. 

Salesforce reports that data driven organizations are three times as likely to see improvements in decision-making. In addition, data-driven organizations are able to leverage data in a way that allows them to identify opportunities and competitive threats proactively. Data-driven companies also have higher customer retention rates because they use data to better understand their customers.

The Forbes article New Research: Data And Culture Fuel Innovation explains, “Great innovations come from the people in your organization who directly work with your product and, especially, who interact with customers or the data that customers generate.”
