The Importance of Systems in Advertising Technology
The advertising technology landscape requires a robust system of record to handle complex transactions between buyers and sellers. Often compared to an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, this technology consolidates financial transactions and ensures that advertising expenditures can be tracked accurately. The intricate flow of money in ad tech is likened to stock trading, where precision matters significantly. A primary challenge lies in maintaining stability while also striving for innovation, as any discrepancy can lead to financial losses.
