20+ failing data streams, 25+ redundant fusions, and dashboard discrepancies across all channels — the audit starting point.

About the Client

High-volume firm. Broken platform. Zero trust in the data.

A high-volume professional services firm with marketing spend across paid digital, offline media, and multiple CRM systems. With no unified view of performance and a critically broken MCI workspace, they engaged Decision Foundry to restore data integrity and build a reliable analytics foundation on Salesforce Marketing Cloud Intelligence.

The Challenge

Fragmented data. Broken integrations. No unified view.

The client’s MCI workspace had critical data integrity issues — broken integrations, inflated complexity, and dashboards that could not be trusted by marketing or leadership.

  • 20+ CRM data streams failing due to authentication errors and column misalignment
  • 25+ redundant data fusions degrading platform performance
  • Historical data gaps across all major paid media channels
  • Dashboard discrepancies from unharmonised fields and incorrect filters
  • No attribution linking media spend to case intake or lead outcomes
  • Offline and TV spend showing inaccurate figures in executive reports
  • Call tracking and chat metrics unmapped; local listings credentials expired
