The challenge: Link-it wants to quickly and easily combine data from various sources to use for crucial insights
Link-it collects data through various systems. As they have a data-driven way of working, they use this data to generate insights. Their challenge is that generating insights with combined data from the different systems was very complex, time-consuming, and sometimes impossible, while this is precisely where the crucial business value lies. For this reason, they enlisted the help of Mountain Platform.
