A major problem encountered by many large organizations is poor visibility of their marketing data. In most cases, this problem arises because the companies use multiple sources to collect data; poor integration of data gathered from various sources prevents the businesses from getting a comprehensive view of prevailing market conditions and identifying the needs of their customers in an effective manner.
The problems of data visibility can be overcome with a high degree of efficacy by using a robust CRM system and coming up with a good data integration framework. Today, let us see how Solunus enabled a leading environmental solutions provider to resolve the problem of poor data visibility to gain the right insights in real time.
