“You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.” – Daniel Keys Moran

34 billion terabytes of data is generated worldwide EVERY second. However, researchers estimate that less than 0.5% data is ever analyzed and used.

That’s right. Data is growing faster than ever. While insights from data are extremely powerful, we are still quite far from fully leveraging the tremendous amounts of data being collected.

Many companies lack the manpower and the infrastructure required to go through these datasets efficiently, thus limiting their ability to extract insights from their company’s data.

What’s more, analysts are faced with more disparate data sources than ever. Being able to access this data and incorporate it into their analysis is critical to improve the accuracy of their results.

Alteryx, the leader in self-service data analytics, has been changing this for a while now. It provides extensive out-of-the-box connectors that are used to retrieve or push data to the cloud.

While it has exceptional connectors such as Adobe Analytics, Alteryx Web Data Connector for Tableau and Amazon S3 Download Tool, it doesn’t cover all the platforms.

Understanding the need for fetching data from more platforms, the analysts at Grazitti have engineered 40+ custom connectors for Alteryx. These connectors empower you to perform better analysis with Alteryx by allowing you to fetch data from a variety of platforms ranging from databases to social media to online advertising channels and more.

What’s more, our connectors are so easy to install that you can get them up and running in 5 simple steps. Here is how:

Step 1 – Download the connector

To install the connector of your choice, log on to alteryxconnectors.grazitti.com, click on “Free Trial”, and choose a connector of your choice from the drop-down list. Fill in your details and we’ll send you the download link and license key of the connector via email.

Step 2 – Installation process

Click on installer file to start the installation process. After installing the connector, launch Alteryx as an Administrator and find the connector under the connectors tab.
