Data is complex & dynamic; not only complex in the breadth of information but also that its constantly changing.. For example: a customer may change locations or marital status which would change the nature of your recommendations to them. It must be actionable. If you cannot pass it on to other systems like your CRM, ecommerce, or Email Marketing systems, it is not very useful. Additionally, you don’t want to start fresh on every user; you want manage and combine the social data with other data sources to make it useful; so you can drive further actionable results.Lastly, you can only gather all this data if it is easy to collect from users and once collected, you need to find a way to store and manage it easily.
