Summary: SAS's purchase of AssetLink ensures it's a viable alternative to IBM/Unica and Teradata/Aprimo for integrated marketing management. The real question is whether mid-size firms will be able to afford those systems. SAS today announced its acquisition of marketing resource management vendor AssetLink. The move makes perfect sense: the other big MRM vendor was Aprimo , and once they were acquired by Teradata , SAS and AssetLink had no alternative partners in the enterprise marketing space.

Yesterday's acquisition of AssetLink by SAS has prompted me to finally write about MarketingPilot , a vendor I've been following since its launch nearly ten years ago. MarketingPilot started as an operations management tool for mid-size direct marketers, with features for project management, list and media buying, source code tracking, expense capture, and vendor management.
