How Flipstream Gained Real-Time Analytics & Secure Data Access with Datum Labs
Flipstream is a forward-thinking platform focused on using real-time analytics to enhance customer experiences and optimize operations. To stay ahead in a competitive market, Flipstream required accurate, on-demand insights to drive strategic decision-making.
However, data fragmentation across multiple warehouses created operational inefficiencies, delays in analytics, and security vulnerabilities. To scale effectively, Flipstream needed a centralized, high-performance data infrastructure with secure, real-time access.
Challenges Holding Back Flipstream’s Growth
Despite its innovative approach, Flipstream faced critical data challenges that limited efficiency and decision-making:
- Scattered & Inconsistent Data – Key insights were locked across three separate warehouses, making it difficult to gain a unified business view.
- Slow, Inefficient Analytics – Teams struggled with delayed access to insights, preventing agile decision-making.
- Data Security & Governance Issues – Ensuring controlled and secure data access while maintaining system performance was a challenge.
