SAS Unveils High Performance Analytics Technology

Posted on 10:48 by Unknown
I spent the early part of this week at SAS’s annual analysts conference, where the company reviewed the past year and presented its vision for 2012. The story this year was simple: “big data”, and SAS’s “high performance analytics” approach to taming it. Of course, “high performance analytics” is what SAS has always done and, like “big data” itself, the term is relative. What SAS specifically presented was a re-engineering of its core analytical procedures to run in “shared nothing” multi-processor environments.  Each data set is split...

Balihoo Offers "Local Marketing Automation" for Channel Partners

Posted on 16:32 by Unknown
One of first marketing automation systems I ever saw – this would be during the Reagan Presidency – was a custom-built dial-up network to distribute collateral to farm equipment dealers. This and similar seeds have since sprouted into a forest of products that help brand marketers work with dealers, distributors, franchisees, and agents. Some of these channel marketing systems focus on lead distribution, some on locally-customizable promotion materials,...

Quantivo Offers High-Volume Customer Analytics at a Modest Price

Posted on 18:50 by Unknown
These are exciting times in the world of analytical systems. The Web has created new demands to handle unprecedented data volumes and semi-structured data. Cloud-based deployment offers near-infinite hardware scalability and flexibility.  Acquisitions by enterprise software giants have opened opportunities for smaller, more nimble alternatives. The result has been an explosion of companies using new techniques for managing and analyzing huge data volumes. Many, including Vertica, Aster Data, Greenplum, and Netezza, have also been assimilated...

NurtureHQ Offers "Dead Easy Marketing Automation". Is That Enough?

Posted on 09:43 by Unknown
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.New-ish marketing automation vendor NurtureHQ showed me its product recently. It’s really nice.

Particular strengths in:• split testing (separately for email subject lines and versions) • lead scoring (automatically reduces scores from older events) • CRM integration (Highrise, Capsule CRM, Sugar CRM, Salesforce.com, and an open API)• marketing analysis (users can track multiple outcomes per campaign) • content management (nice...

Raab VEST Report: Testing, Data Quality and Content Management Still Lag in Marketing Automation Products

Posted on 08:04 by Unknown
My last post looked at data from our just-released B2B Marketing Automation Vendor Selection Tool (VEST) to understand general industry trends and identify the greatest areas of improvement. Today we’ll look at the VEST data to see what’s still hard to find. As before, the charts show three columns: change in feature availability over the past year among core marketing automation vendors; current availability among core vendors; and current availability...

Raab VEST Report: Marketing Automation Vendors Added Webinars, Social Media, and Dynamic Content in 2011

Posted on 14:22 by Unknown
Last week's post took a horse race approach to data from our newly available  B2B Marketing Automation Vendor Selection Tool (VEST): who’s ahead, who’s behind, and who is coming on strong. But that’s more important to industry insiders than the marketers who actually use these systems. Real marketers care about what the systems can do.The VEST survey, covering nearly 200 items per vendor, answers that question in glorious detail. You need...

New Marketing Automation Report: Venture Funding is Key to Success

Posted on 17:58 by Unknown
I released the 2012 edition of our B2B Marketing Automation Vendor Selection Tool (VEST) report today, an event that deserves more hoopla that I’ve given it. The VEST provides by far the most detailed, objective information available on industry vendors. It includes nearly 200 data points on 21 products, thumbnail sketches of each vendor’s strengths and weaknesses, and three industry quadrants showing leaders in different market segments. It’s...
