RevOps Companies Face a Critical Choice: Build or Buy? ????? In the rapidly evolving RevOps landscape, companies have two clear paths to stay competitive: continue expanding their platform through in-house R&D or make strategic acquisitions to enhance capabilities. With industry giants like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Gong making bold moves through acquisitions, it’s clear that buying innovative capabilities is just as critical as building them. Whether it’s AI-driven insights, conversational intelligence, or advanced forecasting tools, the race to stay ahead is heating up. We anticipate even more strategic acquisitions as we move into 2025 and beyond. Explore our latest article by Scott Watson CA(SA) and Aiden Benson-Armer where we highlight companies that are rapidly expanding their capabilities in Conversational Intelligence, Automated Lead Management and Sales Readiness. https://lnkd.in/erYsAvX4 Deepgram, Balto, DRUID AI, LeadIQ, RocketReach, Albacross, Growbots, SalesHood, WorkRamp, Qstream, Spekit ??, Salesken, Gong, Apollo.io

** From Data Chaos to DataOps: The Future of AI and Analytics **??? ?? Data is the new silicon—abundant but useless in its raw form. When processed and refined, it becomes immensely valuable, powering companies like Meta and Uber with real-time insights. For most businesses, though, the journey to harnessing this value is challenged - 87% of data projects fail. Despite $100 billion+ investment, enterprise data infrastructure remains chaotic, error-prone, and manually operated. DataOps is the upgrade data teams need. Offering a 10x boost in productivity, DataOps tools automate pipelines, enhance data quality, and bring visibility to the entire data flow. The result? Faster decisions, reduced costs, and a scalable approach that meets the demands of modern AI. Check out our latest article by Jonathan Vickery & Nina Matthews to learn why DataOps is the must-have for businesses looking to turn data challenges into opportunities.
