Affise Enables BI Integration Service With Data Fusion
For business owners and marketers who build an advertising strategy on data, making more data-driven decisions, and collecting and analyzing data from multiple sources are the most significant challenges. When a new problem arises, the solution is usually to provide a marketer with the applicable data, leaving it to him to decide what action to take. Thus, the more innovative the performance marketing industry becomes, the more difficult it is to deal with large amounts of data.
Affise is rising to the challenge by turning Big Data into an easy-to-use instrument with the help of our effective BI integration service Data Fusion. Data Fusion is a real-time delivery service which transfers all the data from Affise to your AWS and Google accounts, integrating data across multiple sources into a single view. Once the integration is established, the data can be sent to such leading-edge BI tools as Google Data Studio, Power BI, Oracle BI, and Tableau, to name a few. Data management has never been easier.
