SILICON SLOPES, Utah — October 11, 2017 — ObservePoint, industry leader in automated data governance, is honored to announce that Merkle’s Danielle Ackles, Director of Analytics, and Scott Cannon, Lead Analytics Architect, will be presenting at ObservePoint’s 2017 Analytics Summit.

Ackles and Cannon will present “In Stitches: Assembling a Complete Visitor Data Profile,” discussing the need to connect data from various channels for a comprehensive view of the customer. Speaking of her own session, Ackles said:

“Most businesses do a good job of offering their users multiple ways to interact with their brand. Where they fall short is connecting the multiple entry points back to the same user. A sound data connectivity strategy would go a long way in providing a 360-degree view of your customers.”

As a whole, the Analytics Summit is expected to attract more than 5,000 analytics, digital marketing, data governance and other data-driven professionals to attend. The theme of this year’s event is “Strategies for Success in 2018,” gesturing towards the insights attendees expect to gather from the presentations.

The event is 100% virtual, allowing attendees to log in and attend the event from around the world.
