Oracle has just acquired Market2Lead , one of the early Marketing Automation vendors. Everybody expected Salesforce.com to make a first move, but Oracle surprised us here :- ).

Oracle does have an existing B2B marketing automation product, based on the technology it acquired from Market2Lead in 2010. Market2Lead was very good system, but it lacked the huge market presence that Oracle gains from Eloqua. So that’s all fine, but what industry observers really want to know is how Salesforce.com will react.

Summary: Marketing automation and CRM systems may eventually converge, but for now marketers need help explaining why they need a system of their own. People still don’t understand the difference between marketing automation vs. CRM. Will Marketing automation and CRM remain separate? Vendors take note.

When this blog last left Geoff Rego in 2010 , he had just sold the assets of pioneering B2B marketing automation vendor Market2Lead to Oracle. The system can integrate with other CRM vendors through batch file transfers. Members can grant other people access to their library for collaboration.

For evidence that a free entry-level product does not automatically drive out higher priced systems, consider the hosted CRM market. Salesforce.com easily dominates despite the presence of surprisingly capable free products like ZohoCRM and FreeCRM. Of course, the really big question is whether Salesforce.com will make a similar move.

The obvious candidates are CRM vendors. Of course, Oracle has already made its move by purchasing Market2Lead's intellectual assets. Salesforce.com is the big question and no one would be surprised to see them make an acquisition. Enterprise software vendors like SAP and Infor are also likely buyers.
