"We have a fire hose of signups and users that come through — having that data live in a CRM is not optimal. But once you have structured data coming through the data warehouse, you're able to pass that back to your GTM (go-to-market) teams in a highly actionable way."
“Cost scalability is a key consideration for us. We’ve been burnt before with event volumes so we went into cost scalability with eyes wide open.”
“I remember it was Halloween when I first noticed, We were using a manual process to correlate information when I realized the trial numbers I saw in one place didn’t match with what I saw in the other. We later found out that half the people who were signing up for our product weren’t getting into our system at all because there was something broken.”
"Census allowed us to do things that, at other companies, had taken months to build with a data team."
"We evaluated what it would take to build these capabilities, and it was a six-month process to create an MVP with just a handful of platforms. It just didn't make sense. With Census Embedded, I can keep my development overhead low and focus on what makes NextAfter unique. Moving faster is going to translate into much better results and ROI long term."
"Census’s warehouse logging enables healthy end-to-end data flows by helping us drill down to each record and ensure data quality. We can find bottlenecks in our ETL provider and our own transformations, not just reverse ETL pipelines."
“Census is a big part of how we drive net new business and greatly reduce costs using data. Often you’ll have a multifaceted campaign that needs to target the same users across many different touchpoints. What we’ve been able to do in Census is finally have a system where we can create centralized audiences for all our different platforms and share out that audience to whichever system needs it.”
"We've been able to train folks who traditionally would write out a request form, send it to the BI team, and wait a few days to get their data. Now we've got analysts outside of the BI team, folks who aren't comfortable writing code or merging changes into our BI repo, that can set up their own connections to feed their operations tools out of our warehouse."
“If we don’t have this data, we’re not going to have a Sales team.”
"It’s transforming the way that we operate."
“An indispensable tool for BizOps and Go-to-market teams."
"We had hand built this system using Zapier, but it was time-intensive and expensive. From the minute that we started talking to Census, I realized it was exactly what we needed. With Census, I could stop doing all this extra legwork and just get the results that I wanted."
"This is revolutionary. When we first implemented the data warehouse, we tried to be digital leaders in sport but could never get to a personalized experience. We had the warehouse but couldn’t activate it, because I didn’t want to build a monolithic system and the API. This makes me so happy."
"Census makes it really easy to sync audiences into our Ad platforms. I build my audiences on top of models from my data team, click go, and it just works."
"One of our biggest concerns when finding a reverse ETL tool was ease-of-use. Census has been extremely easy to use and easy to implement."
