This episode of The Analytics Edge is brought to you by NetSpring and showcases John Humphrey, former Head of Data Platform Product and Chief Data Officer at Intuit MailChimp. John joins us to discuss data strategies for Customer Analytics, from continuing investments in Customer 360 to the emergence of warehouse-native data platforms.
He delves into the technology gaps that forced a detour from our earlier vision of Customer Analytics. As products became more digital, the data platforms at the time were unable to handle all the event data being produced – leading to the emergence of specialized first-generation product analytics platforms, data silos, and fragmented analytics platforms for product analytics.
John introduces 4 levels of Customer Analytics maturity to help data leaders rationalize earlier investments, and how the cloud data warehouse is enabling warehouse-native strategies and applications to break down those earlier silos, and finally now, deliver on the promise of C360 and Customer Analytics.
