WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US:

Built by the team that designed Facebook's technology to understand the needs of its first billion users, Interana provides the most powerful behavioral discovery platform to understand the behavior of any combination of actors (people and things), actions (behavior), and timeframe (seconds to years). Customers today demand companies meet them wherever they are - online, offline, at work, home or on the road. This digital transformation requires companies to understand what their customers' experiences are across each channel. Only Interana's continuous intelligence platform gives any employee who can use a spreadsheet users direct access to 100% of their customer event data, and still provides answers in seconds. Interana's Interactive Visual Interface™ is an easy-to-use UI providing users accessible, powerful, and instant discovery and analysis.
