“With real-time insights and automated data capture, we optimized pipeline efficiency and improved forecast accuracy by 15%.”

— Mike Wing, President at VAST Data

From Hypergrowth to High Precision

By 2024, VAST Data had become one of the fastest-growing companies in enterprise tech—powering AI-native data platforms for mission-critical workloads across the globe. With revenue in the hundreds of millions and a $9B valuation, their growth was no longer a question.

The challenge? Turning that momentum into repeatable, precision-driven execution.

Why VAST Chose MaxIQ

  1. Granular Visibility Across the Full Funnel: VAST was managing thousands of deals across new logo sales, land-and-expand motions, and consumption-based renewals. They needed more than a CRM—they needed real-time visibility across every deal stage and function. MaxIQ gave them a unified lens to forecast accurately across Sales, Customer Success, and Renewals.
  2. Execution Discipline, Not Just Insights: Revenue data alone wasn’t enough. VAST needed to guide reps toward the right next steps, surface risks before deals slipped, and build trust in weekly forecasts. MaxIQ became the execution engine—connecting insights to action and outcomes.
  3. Scalable, Repeatable Growth: Guesswork doesn't scale. MaxIQ helped VAST standardise forecasting cadences, align teams on shared definitions of pipeline health, and operationalize revenue excellence across every region and segment.
