Assisting with Database Refresh and Cleanup
One of Odetta's clients, a seed-based New York real estate firm, faced a common challenge with outdated employment data for portfolios that they track, along with needing more accurate databases. They partnered with Odetta to resolve the issue of outdated databases when people change their jobs. LinkedIn has bidirectional data feeds only available for certain CRMs, and therefore, most companies must build this Odetta + verification solution to maintain accurate databases that rely on LinkedIn as a source of truth.
