AUTOMATION OVERVIEW The B2B marketing automation industry is growing rapidly, as organizations tap technology to enhance their demand generation efforts and implement processes for repeatable success. Marketing automation providers across the board indicated record-breaking growth in Q1 2012, as well as plans for aggressive expansion in personnel and product offerings. According to SiriusDecisions benchmarks, 18% of B2B organizations are using a marketing automation platform. The research firm forecasts adoption rates to reach 40% by 2016. For B2B marketers that realize the benefits of implementing a marketing automation system, rolling out and using the technology can be an intimidating venture. Due to the complexity of automating marketing programs, there are many issues to consider. While adoption rates continue to climb, a vast majority (85%) of marketing automation users that have adopted a platform do not believe they are using its full potential, according to SiriusDecisions. As a result, experts emphasize the need for a clearly defined approach to get the most out of game-changing automation technology. As new adopters navigate this roadmap to success, DemandGen Report is catering to growing community demand for marketing automation education. B2B organizations in the early stages of implementation are challenged to build a plan for effectiveness from the ground up. Rather than rush to make an automation purchase before taking the time to define internal requirements, new adopters should survey their internal stakeholders to determine their expectations and needs from marketing automation technology. By taking a cross-functional approach to extend the decision-making process

beyond the marketing team, adopters that include sales, operations, customer service and finance stakeholders can more efficiently cater to the impact that automation technology will have on each team. When selecting a vendor, it’s important to consider immediate and future internal strategy and plans. DemandGen Report advises adopters to focus on: • The features that can extend the life of demand generation programs; • Efficiently delivering real-time information and key data; • Picking a system that integrates with currently implemented and deployed technology; and • Choosing vendors that focus on providing relevant thought leadership content for market-generated success. In the Guide to Marketing Automation Solutions, DemandGen Report surveyed solution providers directly to deliver key informative insights on each organization’s business model, market approach and offerings, including: • Corporate headquarters location; • Company inception; • Number of customers; • Growth rates and projections; • Special vertical focus; • Product overview and recently added features; • Market position and accolades; and • Pricing models. *Solution providers are listed alphabetically and were each afforded the opportunity to share any and all relevant and updated information on the above points.
