Marketing automation vendors
|
If your firm is considering or is already in the process of acquiring marketing automation, then this page and the listing at the bottom are meant for you. Primarily the topic is discussed from a B2B SME company point of view, but most probably also startup companies or enterprises will find the information interesting.
Marketing automation enables companies to get better visibility on what buyers really like and how they behave. Thus it boosts the implementation of growth strategies, increases sales by improving market share, facilitates expansion to new international markets, supports the development of new products and business models or enhances go-to-market programs and processes. The technology itself is not the solution, but as a part of right path to growth, it will help the company to stand out from its competitors. Adopting marketing automation is not to be considered as a technical implementation project or an IT procurement initiative, but it should be closely linked to the renewal and improvement of business and customer operations. Here we shall focus on the vendors that offer B2B marketing automation as an online service. The typical features of the services include acquiring customer leads, lead scoring and nurturing, email marketing, development of landing pages, visitor tracking, CRM integration, data analysis and reporting. Enterprise marketing management (EMM) systems, offered by e.g. IBM and SAS, are not discussed here. Also dedicated real-time analytics (e.g. web analytics and social media analytics) and predictive analytics (customer success) solutions are excluded – even though they are closely related to the utilisation of market automation. New players are continuously entering in the marketing automation business, originating from startup world or adjacent solution providers, so the review is not including all the vendors in the domain. If the listing is excluding some key vendors that you consider relevant to the above mentioned focus and Finnish markets, please inform me. The review is based on the reports and evaluations of industry experts, information available on the web and my own experiences in the vendors and their solutions.
