How Concourse Hosting Weathered the CrowdStrike Outage

It's been a tough week for Windows systems and the IT teams managing them. I live in a glass house here, so no stones to throw. However, this situation highlights the value of Concourse’s methodical architectural approach to end-to-end managed private cloud and security services for Windows and SQL applications.

At Concourse Hosting, we leverage CrowdStrike Falcon as part of our robust security architecture. Unlike many, our strategy is to avoid immediately adopting the latest updates. Instead, we wait for the n-1 or second-to-latest updates, ensuring that any potential issues are identified and resolved before they affect our systems. Additionally, we roll out updates in a staggered manner based on time zones, minimizing risk and ensuring continuity.

Why Our Approach Works

Most of our systems were unaffected by the recent CrowdStrike issue because they did not receive the problematic update immediately. For the few that did, enough time had passed for CrowdStrike to release a fix. A simple reboot resolved the issue in most cases. In the rare instances where further action was needed, we booted into safe mode, manually removed the problematic file, and then rebooted.

The Concourse Advantage

Our high-quality managed detection and alert systems, along with our 24/7/365 technical support, ensured the problem was caught immediately. A real person received the alert about the issue on Friday evening. This experienced engineer quickly checked CrowdStrike's updates on Twitter and used their deep technical skills to follow early guidance and remediate the problem.

My thoughts are with the IT Ops teams dealing with these challenges. It's a tough job, and we all strive to keep our systems running smoothly under such pressures.

Simplifying Data Management in 2025: How Point-and-Click Tools and Smart Ops Software Are Fixing Mismatched Data

In today’s data-driven business landscape, accuracy, speed, and usability are more important than ever. As organizations grow, so does the volume and complexity of their data—often leading to fragmented systems, duplicate records, and mismatched insights.

To tackle these challenges, companies are turning to smarter solutions like point-and-click data tools, intelligent mismatched data solutions, and advanced data ops software. For businesses seeking to streamline operations without complex coding or high overhead, Match Data Pro LLC is leading the way in this space.

The Modern Data Challenge: Too Much, Too Messy

From CRMs to ERPs and e-commerce systems to marketing platforms, businesses today operate across dozens of interconnected tools. While these tools collect valuable information, they often don’t communicate well with each other. This lack of integration leads to mismatched data—conflicting customer records, inconsistent reporting, and unreliable analytics.

Here are some common problems businesses face:

Duplicate or inconsistent customer profiles across platforms

Misaligned sales and marketing data

Incorrect financial or inventory data leading to poor decisions

Wasted hours manually cleaning up data

This is where smart, no-code tools and automated operations come into play.

Point-and-Click Data Tools: Empowering Non-Technical Teams

Gone are the days when managing data required writing complex SQL queries or hiring an army of engineers. Today, point-and-click data tools offer intuitive interfaces that allow business users—regardless of technical background—to access, clean, move, and analyze data with just a few clicks.

These tools, offered by companies like Match Data Pro LLC, allow users to:

Drag and drop fields to transform data

Merge datasets across platforms

Identify and resolve mismatched or duplicate entries

Set up workflows visually, with no code required

By reducing dependency on IT teams, point-and-click data platforms speed up time to insight and empower every department—sales, marketing, finance, and operations—to take control of their data.

Mismatched Data Solutions: Fixing Inconsistencies Before They Become Problems

Mismatched data isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a risk. If your analytics are built on conflicting inputs, every insight becomes questionable.

Mismatched data solutions focus on identifying, reconciling, and resolving these inconsistencies before they disrupt operations. Match Data Pro LLC’s intelligent matching and validation engine scans across datasets to flag issues such as:

Conflicting addresses, phone numbers, or email formats

Outdated records or entries missing key fields

Their platform uses a combination of fuzzy logic, AI, and customizable rules to find and fix discrepancies at scale. This ensures businesses are working with clean, consistent, and trustworthy data, no matter the source.

The impact? Better customer targeting, smoother workflows, and more accurate decision-making.

Data Ops Software: Automating the Entire Data Lifecycle

While point-and-click tools help users work with data interactively, data ops software automates the entire process—from data ingestion and validation to transformation, enrichment, and delivery.

Think of it as DevOps for data—only instead of deploying code, you're deploying trusted, usable data pipelines.

Match Data Pro LLC’s data ops software includes:

Real-time data syncing across platforms

Workflow automation triggered by data events

Monitoring and alerting for anomalies

Integration with APIs and cloud storage

This approach ensures that data flows consistently and reliably through the organization, enabling real-time dashboards, customer insights, and agile decision-making.

Why This Matters in 2025

As more companies embrace AI, predictive analytics, and customer personalization, clean and connected data has become a core competitive advantage.

Here’s why adopting tools like those from Match Data Pro LLC matters more than ever:

Faster Time to Value: Point-and-click tools reduce setup time and allow users to act quickly.

Reduced Operational Errors: Fixing mismatches upstream prevents costly downstream issues.

Improved Collaboration: With intuitive interfaces and shared tools, departments can work from the same source of truth.

Scalability: As your business grows, automated pipelines and smart matching scale effortlessly.

Whether you're a fast-growing startup or an enterprise with legacy systems, these modern tools bring agility to your data infrastructure.

Real-World Use Cases

Retailers use point-and-click data mapping to sync product and inventory data across POS systems and e-commerce platforms.

Healthcare providers rely on mismatched data solutions to consolidate patient records across different departments.

Marketing teams utilize data ops workflows to ensure lead data is clean and enriched before entering CRM and automation tools.

Finance departments automate reconciliation processes by linking records from banks, ERPs, and accounting platforms.

Match Data Pro LLC: Your Partner in Smart Data Management

At Match Data Pro LLC, we believe that managing data shouldn’t be complex or intimidating. That’s why we’ve built solutions that prioritize simplicity, automation, and reliability.

Whether you need to clean up messy data, automate your daily syncs, or empower your team with intuitive tools, we’ve got you covered. Our platform blends user-friendly interfaces with robust back-end processing—making it the perfect fit for modern, data-driven teams.

Final Thoughts

The data revolution doesn’t require revolutionizing your whole team. With the right tools—point-and-click data solutions, mismatched data resolution, and smart data ops automation—any business can operate at enterprise-grade efficiency without the enterprise-grade cost or complexity.

Beyond Borders: Tuneer Malik on Regional Strategy, Field Marketing ROI, and MQL Precision

Tuneer Malik, Head of APAC Marketing at Glean, brings deep expertise in integrated marketing, field strategy, and multi-region execution across APAC, MEA, and ANZ. In this conversation, he shares insights on evolving MQL-focused strategies, aligning marketing with revenue goals, driving ROI through field events, leveraging AI, and navigating regional marketing complexities.

Get full insights@ https://itechseries.com/interviews/field-marketing-roi/

Tuneer, it’s a pleasure to have you on this interview series. Could you walk us through your marketing journey?

I spent my initial marketing years at Cvent being groomed under multiple mentors who had done it all at various organizations—big and small—and had multiple decades of experience, the know-how, and, most importantly, the knowledge of things that work from a target ICP PoV and things to be careful of (the pitfalls). Cvent was my first organization that gave me that platform to learn (~set up a strong base), excel, and go hands-on with each campaign, helping me understand the intricacies of each channel/each tactic and how everything comes together. I’ve sat at the desks of several POCs, chewing my brain just to understand what they do and how they do it—as I learned from them (campaign ops, digital marketing, web design, market research, etc.), I added my two cents on how we could make things better. All of this, in turn, helped me lead ASEAN at Freshworks and APAC MEA ANZ at GEP, and I continue as the head of marketing for APJ at Glean. The other most important lesson I learned as a marketer is 80 is the new 100, i.e., I (now) do not wait to achieve absolute perfection before going live with a campaign or plan way too much—if I feel I have all basic things covered from a branding and demand generation standpoint, I launch and refine as I go.

How has the role of field marketing evolved within an integrated revenue organization structure?

From what used to simply be a marketing team’s job to generate as many leads as possible, as fast as possible, and to sometimes focus on quality, i.e., MQLs, SQLs, and MQL to SQL conversion percentage by channel. This has now changed into pipeline goals. A bottom-up calculation tells us how much pipeline we need to generate per quarter, per year, as marketing, for the sales team to meet their regional revenue goals, which are then tied back to the org. FY revenue goals.

What are the key challenges in executing integrated marketing strategies across multiple regions?

The regions I operate in can be drastically different from a cultural sensitivities perspective, how they buy—their decision-making structure, market maturity, i.e., what may work in Australia may not exactly work in Singapore vs. Japan, which will lead to change in the type of content being presented to them and types of activities being done in-region. The vendor’s/PR agencies/organizers we might work with in one country may not have a presence at all in the other. This can also be the case with channels/platforms, too, being different by region/by country. Language (localization) becomes a challenge too in markets like Japan, which are much more comfortable with content being delivered in Japanese, which is additional in terms of money spent, resource allocation, etc.

“The state of AI adoption shapes field marketing by influencing audience needs, content strategy, and campaign execution.”

How do you determine the most effective channels and events for your field marketing efforts?

To determine the most effective channels and events for field marketing, I start by defining clear goals/outcomes—whether that’s lead generation and/or brand awareness. I’ve also used data from past campaigns to identify which type of events and channels have generally driven meaningful results, and test a mix of formats such as trade shows, pop-ups, or partner events to see what resonates best, whilst ensuring that the event aligns with our brand. Post-event, we closely track performance through metrics such as MQL to SQL conversion rates and overall ROI. A key benchmark for success is achieving an 18x return, meaning for every dollar spent, the activity must generate at least $18 in pipeline value.

How does the state of AI adoption influence your field marketing focus?

The state of AI adoption shapes field marketing by influencing audience needs, content strategy, and campaign execution. In markets with high AI adoption, marketers focus on personalization and industry/persona use cases for decision-makers, often collaborating with ecosystem partners. In less mature markets, efforts shift toward education, thought leadership, and hands-on labs/workshops for D2D users. I use AI on a daily basis, whether that’s Glean—my company’s own product of internal knowledge—at least a dozen times, and scour through for iterations via other AI tools as well. The idea is to constantly/consistently improve and adapt.
