At the Enterp...

Two events in the CRM industry this week are shining a spotlight on a broad and sometimes nebulously defined space. First, Oracle announced its agreement to acquire FatWire, a provider of Web experience management software. Second, Adobe rolled out its Digital Enterprise Platform for Customer Experi...
Last week Marc Benioff was in Boston with another regional Cloudforce tour event, and Stephen Denning has written a good book. There is a connection between them.

But in reality, many companies continue to implement lead generation processes that can be considered av...
Customer experience can make or break a company. The pressure to manage costs has never been greater, but it's a fatal mistake to view customer service channels as a cost center. The solution? An at-home workforce that delivers excellent results: 10 percent higher customer satisfaction; 30 percent m...
Listrak has incorporated new features into its email marketing platform that give its users analytic and behavioral targeting capabilities. It also has brought more oomph to its shopping cart abandonment dashboard by developing more granular metrics for it. Those are the top changes for the latest r...
It's often said that CRM is always a work in progress. Never mind the fact that I'm the one who's often saying it -- it's true, if you're doing it right. You should always be looking for areas where you can coach your people, adjust your processes, and fine-tune your technology. However, thinking ab...
I heard a phrase the other day that resonated with things I've been thinking about and talking about on the stump recently, but I had never heard it so succinctly. I was taking a briefing from Zuora, a company involved in providing on-demand billing solutions for companies that deliver on-demand se...

Marketo upgrades or somehow tweaks its revenue performance management application roughly every other month, but its latest release is special. Specifically, many of the features included in this release have been more than a year in the making, said Gaurav Kotak, senior director of product marketin...
I have a friend who's a musician, author and former radio personality, and he likes Facebook. A lot. My newsfeed is clogged with his posts -- news from his life, comments about music and movies, photos of his travels, videos of songs, links to other people's articles.
