Are you considering building a SaaS marketing data lake for faster analytics? Learn the ins and outs of setting up a data lake in this free webinar replay.
Data lakes are the latest trend in marketing. They allow you to store data in any size and shape—semi-structured, unstructured and others. The schema on read approach allows for a flexible analytics architecture for your organization. Top CMOs and CIOs everywhere are investing in creating massive big data repositories for their marketing data.
Why invest in a data lake? Today, the individual marketing applications give you batch updates and generate reports for you. However when these data silos are broken and merged into a data lake, your organization will get access to comprehensive information about the entire web/digital behavior of your customers. This information will let you make better and faster decisions from your analytics infrastructure.
Connecting SaaS Sources
Most of the popular marketing applications currently reside in the cloud. Connecting these various SaaS sources is becoming a primary challenge for organizations adopting Big Data.
ISVs especially are accelerating big data technology adoption with a single interface to numerous marketing cloud data sources such as Salesforce, Marketo, Eloqua, Oracle Service Cloud, Google Analytics and Adobe Omniture. Having this data in a single, unified location yields a 360 degree view of the business. But, how do you get all of this SaaS data into your Data Lake? That’s why we are here to help.
Sumit Sarkar and Gary Angel explored the value that SaaS data brings to a data lake, particularly how storing all of types of data in a central location. For this to work, real-time data access and connectivity are critical.
