AdvisureIQ and Skyvia Partner to Bring No-Code Data Integration to Mid-Market Finance and Operations Teams

Published

on

Partnership gives mid-market organizations a direct path from fragmented cloud data to reliable financial planning

CARLSBAD, Calif., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AdvisureIQ, a planning advisory and data analytics consultancy, today announced a strategic partnership with Skyvia, a no-code cloud data integration platform. The partnership connects Skyvia’s library of 200+ pre-built connectors to AdvisureIQ’s planning, forecasting, and data architecture services, giving mid-market finance and operations teams a faster, lower-friction route to reliable, integrated data.

Mid-market organizations frequently run on a mix of cloud applications, ERP systems, and databases that were never designed to share data. Finance teams end up exporting files, reconciling figures by hand, and making planning decisions from numbers that are already out of date. AdvisureIQ addresses this by helping organizations build the data architecture layer first, connecting sources, standardizing outputs, and establishing a single, trustworthy view of the business before layering on forecasting and scenario planning. Skyvia’s no-code integration and automation capabilities extend that foundation by enabling client teams to set up and manage data connections themselves, without relying on technical staff for every update.

Partnership Details
Under the agreement, AdvisureIQ will incorporate Skyvia’s platform into its client engagements as an integration and automation layer. Skyvia supports ETL, ELT, Reverse ETL, data warehousing, data synchronization, data migration, workflow automation, and real-time data access across more than 200 cloud applications and databases, including Salesforce, NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, and others. For AdvisureIQ clients, this means faster connections between operational systems and planning environments, with less manual intervention required to keep data current.

The partnership also enables AdvisureIQ to support client teams in building their own data workflows. Because Skyvia’s platform requires no coding, finance and operations staff can configure imports, exports, and automated data pipelines directly, rather than routing every change through an IT queue. That operational independence is one of the practical outcomes AdvisureIQ targets for its clients.

“Data integration is where a lot of mid-market planning projects break down,” said David Van Horn, CPA, Founder and CEO of AdvisureIQ. “The connections between ERP systems, CRMs, and financial data sources are brittle, IT-dependent, and rarely current enough to support disciplined forecasting. Our partnership with Skyvia changes that by giving our clients a way to build and maintain those connections without technical staff, which lets us focus every engagement on the planning and analysis work rather than the infrastructure it runs on.”

Skyvia’s platform is rated 4.8 out of 5 across major independent software review platforms and is trusted by organizations including Panasonic, GE, Hyundai, and Médecins Sans Frontières. The platform’s no-code design means implementation time is measured in hours rather than weeks for many standard integration scenarios.

“AdvisureIQ understands the real complexity finance teams face when they try to plan from disconnected data sources,” said Oleksandr Khirnyi, Chief Product Officer at Skyvia. “Our platform was built to make those connections fast and maintainable for non-technical users. Paired with AdvisureIQ’s advisory expertise, organizations get both the integration infrastructure and the strategic guidance to use it well.”

The partnership is effective immediately.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
