How businesses can let customers control and own their data. But still WIN

Rupert Runewitsch, Founder, MyVista Inc

Inability to convert consumer data into actionable insights is as big as problem as data flooding. Oftentimes, businesses wonder what to do with the tons of raw data that is created and captured daily. It’s like a whale shark that collects plankton and eats all it can get, both the plankton of value and the rest. Consequently, most consumer data that is collected will be only used for menial business-centric benefits like an eCRM or push marketing, losing its true purpose. This is where Vista comes in. It is an opt-in data platform that powers the connection between people and brands through data-driven concierge.
