Zendesk Support is a software designed to help businesses manage customer interactions. It provides businesses with the means to personalize support across any channel with the ability to prioritize, track and solve customer issues. Also built for iOS, Zendesk Support can be accessed on iPhone and iPad, adding a new dimension to the ability to add the necessary people to a customer conversation at any time.
A fully managed data warehouse service in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, Amazon Redshift is designed for storage and analysis of large-scale datasets. Redshift allows businesses to scale from a few hundred gigabytes to more than a petabyte (a million gigabytes), and utilizes ML techniques to analyze queries, offering businesses new insights from their data. Users can query and combine exabytes of data using standard SQL, and easily save their query results to their S3 data lake.
