Joe Hansen TownNews Senior Product ManagerCustomer story
Our customers in the publishing, broadcast, and web-native spaces have so much data—often more than they're even aware of—that 'analysis paralysis' can set in. What we're doing with Data Insights is pulling data from a variety of different silos, and presenting it in a way that makes it understandable and actionable.
Brad Ward
CEO, TownNews
TownNews is a leading provider of content management systems and platforms for U.S. media organizations. Most of its customers, mid-sized to smaller community-based outlets, lacked deep insight into their content assets. Working with GoodData, it deployed “Data Insights” to provide its customers with robust new tools for gathering, understanding, and acting upon the data that impacts their businesses.
