Individually these sources have value. Combined, these sources tell a lifecycle driven story. We let the data analytics services do the heavy lifting for us. There is no one size fits all approach. Deciding factors are the desired end state versus the value of the data versus the cost to operate. The hardest part of getting started is getting started.
