Data is the driving force behind business today. On their own, companies generate vast quantities of data — called first-party data — about their customers and their operations. But businesses also depend on external third-party data to learn more about their customers so they can create rich omnichannel marketing campaigns and help sellers take the next best action. Or, for example, they use external data to help evaluate business risk, ensure compliance, make informed planning decisions, or select the right location for stores, restaurants, and infrastructure.
