3. How often is the data updated?

Our app checks to our internal Salesforce every 15 minutes for any updates our Investment Sales team or Data team has made to our internal CRM. This information is then pushed into your Salesforce into our Dakota-specific fields.

4. What support do you provide?

They will direct you with the best point of contact.
