Certified Datorama Managed Services

By Larry Cohen, revised on November 3, 2023 at 11:55 AM EDT

As your business grows, so do the number of possible use cases your Marketing Cloud Intelligence, formerly Datorama, instance can solve. Unfortunately, there may come a time when you just don't have the available resources to build, maintain your taxonomy, audit, or scale your investment. Managed services or staff augmentation options, may be the answer.

The Ongoing Search for Datorama Talent

Talent is hard to find and even harder to keep. Perhaps your previous Datorama resource(s) left the company, there’s little to no historical technical documentation available, there’s a backlog of projects and very little time to execute, or you’re new to the role and feel an urgency to get the work done faster.

Fast Onboarding. Trusted Partner.

Short or longer-term, we are ready to start within 10 business days or less (post contract). A dedicated team of Salesforce-certified personnel can help you get through projects, optimize your solution, and reduce expenses, all while driving the most out of Datorama and other related premium offerings such as support for Media Performance Center, Data Lake, Attribution, IO and billing system integrations or other Marketplace Apps.

Looking for a Change?

Have you moved beyond your previous Datorama partner or are you just looking for a fresh perspective? We’re here to support you. The journey towards scaling and optimizing your platform calls for a partner who understands your unique requirements and can make progress quickly.

Bridging the Technical Gap

Certified Managed Services Partners are an excellent, cost-effective way to fill the technical resource void. Our work begins with a formal audit, stakeholder review sessions, written checklists for line items to be resolved, and a written summary on how to fix deficiencies. Interested in staff augmentation options, no problem! Give us a call at (646) 584 2598.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there a minimum number of hours needed before you will consider managed services?

Yes, 20 hours per month and a 90 day minimum commitment. See our CSA and SOW for specific details. If you need something less than this, perhaps there’s a different delivery model we can discuss?

I need someone very senior to help us maintain our Datorama instance? Can you help me?

That’s fine. We have over 120 professionals with various levels of seniority and industry experience. There is a variable hourly rate but this can be discussed during the scope.

Do you have 12 month contracts?

Yes. Let’s discuss during the scope.

Do you follow ISO practices? GDPR? Are you familiar with DPAs? Do you have appropriate TOMs and are you comfortable with following our SCCs?

Yes. We will review your guidelines and requirements. We often provide services to highly regulated industries. Regardless, the protection of our client’s data is tantamount.

Do you use contractors?

No. We have a very large bench and we’ve trained many of our most seasoned professionals right out of college.

I need Staff Augmentation services. Can you place someone in my org, full-time?
