You can’t sell to companies if you don’t know who they are. Despite millions of downloads, Prisma needed to figure out who was behind the numbers. With Scarf’s Strategic Insights Report, they are now able to see just how many of their users are actually from major companies, including many Global Fortune 2000. “Using our own data and the Scarf Strategic Insights Report, we found a lot of our recent sign ups are companies that are able to make database-related infrastructure changes much faster” said Nitin Gupta, COO at Prisma.
