Objective
Enable Outreach data to be shared with Databricks.
Outreach Data Sharing enables Outreach to share data with our customers without data transfer. Customers get instant access to all the data shared, regardless of size or complexity, without copying data into customer tenants.
The benefits of Outreach Data Sharing include:
- Enrich sales workflows by unifying Outreach’s robust data sets with other enterprise data. Use Outreach data to fill data gaps for teams that want to measure performance across multiple data sources.
- Seamlessly connect data with low-code and minimal management. Outreach Data Sharing provides business intelligence, analytics, and data science teams with direct access to Outreach data without reliance on highly technical teams to create connections between the two systems.
- Securely access Outreach data in Databricks. Using secure data sharing from Databricks and Outreach, no data is copied or transferred between accounts, so customers can safely access large quantities of data.
- Reduced cost. Since data doesn’t need to be copied, customers only pay for the compute cost of querying the data.
Once shared, an end user can query the shared data as if it was any other table in their database.
