Marketo held its annual Marketing Nation Summit this week, hosting 4,000+ clients and partners.

My first question when Marketo announced its new mobile app connector this week wasn’t, “What cool new things can marketers do?” But one of Marketo’s biggest technical weaknesses has always been an inflexible data model.
