If these issues were not addressed promptly, the business risked operating on inaccurate data. Additionally, the team was constantly adding new data sources to communicate and reach the next generation of fans. It was crucial for them to connect and centralize their email data in Dynamics 365, marketing automation data in Eloqua, and fan feedback in Qualtrics. Read More
