Empowering NetApp's data-driven decision making with Fullstory

Increased Fullstory Adoption and ROI

Enhanced Data Quality and Decision Making

Fun NetApp Image

NetApp faced hurdles with Fullstory, including configuration issues, missing user behavior data, privacy concerns, and underutilized features. These challenges limited their ability to extract valuable insights and maximize the platform's potential.

NetApp, a leader in cloud data services and data management, partnered with us to optimize their use of Fullstory, a powerful digital experience analytics platform. Our relationship with NetApp began during their initial onboarding to Fullstory, where we provided consultation and support to get them started. However, as they dived deeper into the platform, the NetApp team recognized the need for additional expertise to fully leverage Fullstory's capabilities.
