    Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

    ZoomInfo is well suited for a new company that needs to load a CRM, or has a CRM thats over 18 months old and needs to be refreshed. Itd really only be inappropriate if you had 100 or less customers and knew them all well, or you aren't in B2B Sales.

    • It is not only DWH , you can use infosphere for analys and see the bigger architecture of your OLTP systems

    • EverString allows us to build account lists based off in-depth firmographic or technographic data. It's far more accurate than trying to build these lists any other way.
    • EverString is fast. Where it might've previously taken us weeks to build lists of this quality, we now can build them in a matter of minutes (and have them ready to be published in a couple of hours).

    Cons
    IBM
    • I would be nice to have a new web development environment for DataStage.
    • Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
    • It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.

    • Lower pricing tier, some other zoom products have freemium versions which would be nice
    • Faster import/export time for data, depending on the size of the data, it may take close to more than a few minutes.
    • Merging data does not always report 100% of data merged.

    Would love to keep everstring as part of our tech stack in the future. if we ever have to move from everstring it will be due to budget not the solution itself.

    List uploads for enhancements and the fact that RingLead is powerful and useful make my life as an analyst super easy. I can upload files in bulk and know that everything is mapping correctly without manually going line by line.

    Have a plan on how you're going to evaluate. We had a two-month trial period, but a six-month average lead cycle time, making it impossible to evaluate on a purely new-business ROI basis within the trial. We applied the model to our prior data, which demonstrated how much time and effort was devoted to accounts that weren't going to close

    DataStage is more robust and stable than ODI The ability to perform complex transformations or implement business rules is much more developed in DS

    This was the other tool we reviewed, but the OS applications were more detailed and had better results. Although still a good tool it just did not fit our scope for our sales group. Have yet to find any of the ZoomInfo tools to not be but quality and informational applications. So highly recommend them.

    Return on Investment

    • Productivity of the development of integration processes.
    • Better documentation and governance.
    • Reduce training costs of various technologies.

    • Generate more pipeline - indirectly. Data from anywhere still needs to be transformed and used for a business objective.
    • Saved time in doing research and data population.
    • Assuming a business will purchase a data vendor, the comparison between other vendors is a factor of cost, functionality, and data quality. ZoomInfo has higher costs typically - which would lower the ROI - but with proper incentives or discounts, the comparative ROI grows.
