03. Result
Seamless integrations: Kusiri’s platform can connect to multiple external systems, providing users with a more comprehensive set of data.
Improved performance: Despite the increased data flow, Kusiri’s platform performance remained top-notch, resulting in positive user feedback and increased user retention.
PwC Acquisition: The successful integrations and growing capabilities of Kusiri’s platform did not go unnoticed.
