We pull in data from Salesforce. We also connect with Eloqua for Joruney Orchestrator/marketing collaboration. We are evaluating an integration with Heap for data analytics as well as FinancialForce for project management collaboration and tracking

The tech stack that we have is Salesforce, Mixpanel, and possibly Zendesk. It is so useful for our workflow-- our technology is based on social mentions, so when clients hit their limits, Gainsight triggers notifications which are crucial for good engagement.

Gainsight is connected to Salesforce, Gainsight PX and Zendesk. The integration to Salesforce is smooth as the product lives in Salesforce and the integration to Zendesk is great as well. However, the integration with Gainsight PX is not as easy as I thought, requires help from PX's developers and making changes is not as straightforward as I expected it to be.

We have S3 sources and Salesforce right now, both of them are great working with Gainsight and provide a lot of combined functionality to our internal users.

Tableau, the software product itself, and Salesforce. This allows us to get a 360 understanding of how our clients are using the product and allow AMs to be more efficient and better manage and grow their accounts.

We bring in data from SFDC and data warehouse. I've also used Marketo data and inputs from the support case management tool. This is all critical to telling the full customer story and defining our work.

We just implemented Zendesk and this integrates with Gainsight very well. We no longer have to import the case information, that data flows over automatically. We also use Google Analytics which is huge for us.

We connect Salesforce and our own Business Process Management software to have usage data. And we use Amazon S3 for other data sources. At the moment we are testing to integrate Jira to also have all support cases in Gainsight and enhance our Health Score with that information (e.g. open cases, critical bugs).

We received data from:
  • Zendesk
  • Jira
  • Zuora
  • QuickBase
  • Customer Platform

We are not pushing data to any other system other than Salesforce at this time.

We have rules to create metrics from all of this data and our workflows, programs and CTAS are based of positive of negative changes in this data.

1. We have the main salesforce connection. This is ultimately where all the data gets stemmed through, no matter the source.
2. Financial and billing systems have been connected through salesforce and ultimately into gainsight for consumption
3. Product Usage data comes from our Big Data Lake into our data warehouse and through salesforce as well. - Provides us true usage of tailored metrics that we saw best for the business.

How does it impact workflow? Greatly impacts it positively. We can now use it as a basis for our rules, allowing our rules to be hyper specific.

We have one of our products admin systems pushing usage data directly to Gainsight. Gainsight is also retrieving usage data .csv files into the S3 from another one of our databases. lastly it is integrated with SFDC.

Apart from SFDC, our support database has also been integrated to Gainsight. The ability to integrate various data sources is very important for a true 360 view of a customer, especially in bigger companies using a wide variety of systems.

We are integrated directly to Salesforce, which is bi-directional. Many of our other systems integrate with Salesforce, which we then pull into Gainsight. We've looked into possibly adding additional data sources into Gainsight - such as Jira and our data from our online community.
