As budget season approaches, it’s crucial to make informed decisions about your technology investments. Data analytics are vital for gaining insights and enhancing operations, so asking the right questions when choosing a data partner is essential.
“Taiga came through on integration and implementation with flying colors. Within a week or two, we were pulling live data from our POS, and then within another week or two we were pulling historical data to be translated into our dashboard for analyzing.
– Alan Meyer, CEO, Mach 1 Stores
Here are the top five questions to guide your decision:

What systems does your solution integrate with?
