Macrobond is a SaaS firm that delivers the world's most comprehensive source of economic intelligence for financial professionals. It provides them with a platform that helps them quickly find, analyze, visualize and then share relevant data. Their users are mainly within banks, asset managers, asset owners, government institutions, and large corporations that have in common that they need to look at data from a top-down perspective. If Macrobond can help these financial players understand the data quicker, they are giving them back time – time that they can use to add value to their own business.

  • Fast growth made it increasingly difficult to onboard new customers.

  • Need to increase understanding of usage to create more value for customers.
