As data streams multiply across industries the challenge of integration grows. Fragmented data doesn’t just obscure valuable insights—it hampers decision-making and operational efficiency.
On average, organizations can spend $500,000 to $1.5 million annually on manual data normalization efforts, including labor, technology investments, and operational delays.
Fragmented data creates silos that prevent organizations from seeing the full picture, making it difficult to generate meaningful insights or make informed decisions. When data is scattered across incompatible systems, platforms, or formats, it becomes nearly impossible to connect the dots. This lack of cohesion results in inefficiencies like redundant efforts, delayed decision-making, and missed opportunities to act on valuable insights. For example, without unified data, identity resolution can falter, leading to incomplete customer profiles and ineffective personalization. Similarly, geolocation trends may remain hidden, and audience targeting becomes a guessing game. The result? Increased costs, slower time-to-market, and diminished ROI.
