The company’s marketing is tightly targeted at very small businesses (under 25 employees) but its marketing features are competitive with demand generation products aimed at much larger firms. Three of the five core demand generation functions are clearly there: outbound email, Web forms, and lead nurturing campaigns.

In addition to this general trend, a whole array of software tools is now available to help the savvy marketer. 5 years ago Salesforce.com was tiny compared to Siebel. And just like in medicine, the vendor pays for it all: admission is free for qualified B2B marketers (too bad they don’t have a session in Hawaii).

But there are also a few vendors who have bet in favor of merged systems, so it wouldn’t be fair to ignore their view entirely. Vendors have made the bet by building marketing automation add-ons to a CRM system instead of building a stand-alone marketing automation product.* Of course, the jackpot here is Salesforce.com.

Sure, during the vendor presentation the integration between CRM and the marketing automation solution was shown as seamless and easy. If you have the standard flavor of Salesforce.com with no customizations or if you are a startup just beginning to make use of the CRM system, then integration won’t be a problem.

As I wrote last week , demand generation vendors have a hard time differentiating their systems from each other. Functionally, it covers all the demand generation bases: outbound email, landing pages, Web site monitoring, lead scoring, multi-step nurturing programs, prospect database, analytics, Salesforce.com integration.

CRM tools: An example of these are Oracle ‘ s and Salesforce.com’s mobile apps. While I agree (with some in the AMA LinkedIn post) that sales reps may not carry an iPad just to use these apps, marketers may use it to access lists of campaign members or see who was invited to an event.

If you look at the Web site of Act-On Software , you’ll see a typical set of demand generation features: email marketing, demand generation (equated with landing pages and forms), lead nurturing, Website visitor tracking, channel (partner) marketing, and lead scoring.

I still think that’s the case, but did revisit the topic recently in a conversation with Ken Rudin, CEO of on-demand business analytics vendor Lucid Era. These are supported by standard connectors to Salesforce.com, NetSuite (where Rudin was an advisory board member) and Oracle Order Management. Problem(s) solved, eh?

This same notion of considering which users do which work has permiated my ideas of usability measurement for demand generation systems and usability in general. This distinction is not absolute: the database tools offer some presentation functions, and the visualization tools support some data manipulation.

Channel-specific marketing automation is less appealing but should help to keep marketing automation vendors on their toes. I commented last month that more Web content management system (CMS) vendors are adding marketing automation features. The vendor provides several days of classes, including about two days for marketing users.

While honored, I also find reviewing these solutions confusing because there is a lot of variation in the product presentations and overlap between categories. The lead management vendors are developing one-to-one email capabilities that help sales people be more consistent and productive. This market has a lot of growth ahead of it!

Okay, just kidding: ABM gets just slightly less attention than Donald Trump and arguably generates a similar amount of confusion. The purpose of the framework is to help marketers understand the differences between ABM vendors. It can also rank accounts with a system-generated engagement score. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?
