Case Study: Data Integration Review at B2B Events company

A leading B2B events company struggled with a fragmented data ecosystem across multiple platforms—Salesforce, WordPress, EventsAir, and Brella App—creating significant inefficiencies in their event management processes. This disjointed architecture resulted in data duplication, inconsistent records, and potential privacy compliance violations.

The lack of a designated system-of-record led to confusion about data ownership, while mismatched data sources caused duplicate registrations between EventsAir and Brella. Additionally, disconnected automations between Salesforce, Zapier, and Account Engagement created unreliable "mystery contacts." Most concerning was the scattered personal data across platforms without proper governance—raising serious GDPR and Privacy Act compliance risks.
