Impact #1	The use of Alteryx has resulted in significant time savings, greater efficiency, deeper understanding at scale of third-party data, and the ability to adapt fluidly to evolving data strategies. The team has moved from being siloed to functioning as a cohesive unit. More and more team members across the NOVUS organization are upskilling themselves by taking advantage of the analytical resources at their disposal. They have started a training and mentorship program, encouraging people to get licenses and learn to use Alteryx. This has resulted in team members who started off asking questions, building their own advanced apps and workflows. The team is now able to be responsive to constantly changing client priorities and produce trusted results without starting from scratch every time.
