Connecting Sumo with Einstein Analytics

Updated over a year ago

Goal

The goal is to drive an increase in revenue around understanding the behaviours of your sales team and identifying areas for improvement.

The behaviours are captured by the Cloudapps Sumo solution and can be analysed using Einstein Analytics.

This document is split into 2 main sections:

  1. Extracting the data into Einstein Analytics

  2. Building Einstein Dashboards on the Sumo Data

Extracting the Data into Einstein Analytics
