Summary: consolidation isn't new among marketing software vendors. As I wrote in my June 30 post on consolidation among marketing automation vendors , I expect the number of competitors to shrink fairly quickly as new buyers concentrate their purchases among a handful of leading vendors.

The question with vendor white papers is not whether they are self-serving—that’s inevitable—but whether they are useful as well. The Vtrenz series is long for this sort of thing: three 16-page papers, one each on nurturing, growing and retaining customers. A sly joke, perhaps? But a few points caught my eye.
