- "The more data you have created in disparate parts of the organization, the more chance you have of duplication of fractured data."
- "The marriage between the business teams and the technology teams is one of the critical relationships to the success of the sales operation and the success of the business."
- "Companies now are leveraging the changes in data as triggers to make decisions as well."
