March 2018 Summaries

Fivetran is expanding its global reach by opening a new office in Dublin, Ireland, to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The company aims to make companies data-driven and provide analysts easy access to disparate data sources for advanced analytics. Fivetran is also hiring sales professionals at their Dublin office and has available positions in Denver, Oakland, and Bengaluru. They have recently implemented a 5-minute sync for all integrations with databases, business applications, and file stores, as well as designed new connectors such as AdRoll, DoubleClick Campaign Manager, Email CSV ingestor, Klaviyo, LinkedIn Ad Analytics, Optimizely, SendGrid, Yahoo Gemini, and others.

Fivetran now supports five-minute syncing for all of its data connectors, from Asana to Zendesk, allowing users to centralize their data in a warehouse and generate deeper insights. However, this near real-time syncing comes with costs, such as increased data ingestion costs, potential concurrent-transaction bottlenecks, and higher warehousing expenses. Fivetran advises customers to use the new feature judiciously and highlights some scenarios where a 5-minute sync would be beneficial, such as monitoring real-time website traffic events.
