Onboarding to K

The K platform works by connecting the data ecosystem and personalising the experience through the way you use data.

In order to do this, K needs to know what team you belong to, and what ID’s you use to access the data sources, platforms and tools in the data ecosystems.

Follow the steps listed in the onboarding form. For more detailed screenshots visit the dedicated Onboarding to K help page.
