When most people think of marketing data, they picture mailing lists and email campaigns. But in today’s fast-paced, data-driven business environment, the smartest companies are going far beyond that. Marketing data has become a critical asset for powering internal applications, CRM platforms, marketing automation solutions (MAPs), and other enterprise tools. And with modern integration technologies like APIs and Azure-based custom databases, businesses can leverage this data in real-time, with flexibility and scale.

From Static Lists to Live, Integrated Data

The traditional model of downloading lists and importing them into internal systems is fading. Now, companies are using MCH’s API Suite and Custom Marketing Databases to seamlessly embed high-quality education market data directly into the tools they use every day. Whether it's Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, or a custom-built application, MCH enables real-time access to dynamic, accurate data feeds.

Through APIs, MCH delivers clean, structured data that can be queried on-demand or synchronized automatically based on your update cadence. This means no more outdated records or manual imports. Instead, you get always-fresh data—updated constantly by MCH’s expert data teams—flowing into your systems when and where you need it.

Powering Applications Through Azure Data Marts

In addition to APIs, many MCH clients take advantage of Azure-hosted custom data marts. These are secure, scalable databases designed specifically to align with your organization’s structure and use cases. Built using Microsoft Azure technologies, these data marts provide view-level access to curated datasets tailored for sales, marketing, analytics, and operations.

With pre-configured SQL views, businesses can easily connect BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, or Excel to pull insights in real time. Data marts also support integration with internal applications, customer portals, and ERP systems. MCH works with your IT team to ensure seamless connectivity, optimal performance, and tight alignment with your business goals.

Why Flexibility and Automation Matter

What makes APIs and Azure databases so powerful is their flexibility. You decide what data you need, how often you need it, and how it should be formatted. Whether you’re building a lead scoring engine, a geo-targeting application, or an internal dashboard, MCH gives you the tools and technical support to make it happen.

More importantly, these integrations are automated. You no longer have to rely on periodic file transfers or manual uploads. Instead, data flows smoothly into your ecosystem, keeping your tools—and your team—fully informed and ready to act.
