I’m working on an interesting project right now: moving away from a marketing automation system. The plan is to go back to using only Salesforce.com with some cheap add-on tools for email, form submission and data quality. The company in question has used a comprehensive marketing automation system for about 2 years.

The Salesforce.com AppExchange is a collection of cloud computing applications, all of which are pre-integrated with Salesforce.com. Reviews by other marketers. Plus, over 70 of them are free. .

It's a low-cost, easy-to-use alternative to more powerful marketing automation systems for companies who don't need other marketing automation features.

The flash show when you enter the company’s Web site could easily be mistaken for a demand generation product – it lists campaign workflow, list segmentation, email templates, Salesforce.com integration and dynamic reporting.

But the wrinkle here is that most CRM systems in general, and Salesforce.com in particular, also have separate company and individual levels. The vendors who don’t provide this capability will argue, probably correctly, that few marketers really want to do this and or in fact should do it.

But the technology is nothing special: a page tag sends the visitor’s IP address to DemandBase, which looks up its owner in standard Internet registries. It can also import a client’s list of target accounts from Salesforce.com and issuing alerts when those companies visit. But they don’t intend to become a lead management system.
