Unify your data without building a data team
Most businesses try one of three things to get a single view of their data. Here's how those stack up against a managed, unified database that just works.
The usual ways to get there
Each can work — but each leaves you doing the hard part yourself.
Build it in-house
Hire engineers, write pipelines, stand up a warehouse, model the data, build dashboards — then maintain it all forever. Full control, but slow, costly, and fragile when someone leaves.
Automation tools (Zapier / Make)
Great for moving a record from A to B. But they sync row-by-row — there's no unified database, no history to analyse, and it buckles once you need a real single source of truth.
Enterprise ETL (Fivetran / Segment)
Powerful, but priced and built for big data teams. You still have to build the warehouse, model the data and create the dashboards yourself — overkill for most mid-market businesses.

Zapier, Make, Fivetran and Segment are great tools — they're just built for a different job than a managed, analytics-ready database for Australian mid-market teams.

Common questions
Yes — for mid-market teams who want the outcome, not a data-engineering project. Fivetran moves data into a warehouse you still have to model and build dashboards on. Intellova delivers the unified database on AWS plus the Amazon Quick Suite dashboards, done for you.
