How To Manage Data Fusion Using Affise BI Integration Service

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.

In the digital age, 80% of global data is still unstructured and hard to process, and only 50% of the available information in companies is used for decision-making. In response, Business Intelligence takes over data processing by enabling an automatic mechanism of collecting, analyzing and converting Big Data into all-encompassing, actionable reports for smart decision-making. As a result, the feature has improved our client’s outcomes significantly.

With state-of-the-art BI tools and services, marketers can:

  • Get the full picture of the customer’s performance;
  • Assess the efficiency of your marketing;
  • Predict future advertising trends;
  • Find growth areas and forecast risks;
  • Be independent and self-sufficient.

 

Raw click and conversion data fed into deep analytics tools through Data Fusion allow us to predict the behavior of advertiser's offers in the shortest possible time and work closely with media buyers to improve rates of CR and ROI by 2-3x
