Summary: Social media and access for sales people were the two big trends among demand generation vendors last year. Even though this is limited to the vendors in the Guide, it's a pretty representative sample of the industry as a whole. The vendors also charged additional per-user fees for these modules.

In this post some thoughts about the program… First of all, the best thing about this event is that the speakers are marketing practitioners, not vendors. The Marketing Automation Vendors. My specialty is Marketing Automation Consulting, and many of the vendors were attending with a booth. Manticore Technology (booth 2).

Marketing automation systems—from vendors like Eloqua , Marketo , Genoo , Manticore and others—are great tools for moving prospective buyers along the path from interest to desire to action. Sections two and three, Customer Consensus and Natural Nurturing , begin getting into the meat of the strategy. Share this on del.icio.us.

you know that I see a lot of demand generation systems. Naturally, the vendors showing them to me have all thought very carefully about their designs and made the best choices they could, typically based on feedback from their customers. Here, then, is a list of vendors (alphabetically) and their interfaces.

Salesforce.com is the cloud computing darling of customer relationship management (CRM) software. They have significant control of mind share in that space, and their legacy in customer service and sales force automation software is strong. Guest post by Lauren Carlson. However, CRM is a trifecta. Share this on Bebo.

Both Unica and Aprimo were long-established vendors with fundamentally stable products sold primarily to large enterprises: although their new owners may market them more broadly, they’ll be selling pretty much what IBM and Teradata always sold (big systems) to pretty much the same customers (big companies).

(note: this is a slightly revised version of the original post, reflecting vendor feedback.) To start back at the beginning, the objective has been to find a practical, objective way to evaluate the usability of different demand generation systems. For example, every demand generation system provides an editor to create emails.

Over the past few months, I’ve had conversations with “demand generation” software vendors including Eloqua , Vtrenz and Manticore , and been on the receiving end of a drip marketing stream from yet another (Moonray Marketing, lately renamed OfficeAutoPilot ). It is now being offered elsewhere.)

However, many tech buyers visit vendor Web sites many times to learn about and compare products, yet few register or leave evidence of their activity.

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. Standard applications meet customer needs without custom development (at least initially). Standard vs. custom selection of marketing metrics.

Several new vendors appeared on the market, many existing vendors experienced rapid growth, and Marketing Automation as a term gained popularity among B2B marketers. I have asked many of the vendors, consultants and thought leaders to give their opinion. Christoper Doran , CMO, Manticore Technology. The Contributors.

4) “Pure play” lead management – this group is lead by Eloqua , but there are a LOT of firms throwing their hat into this ring including Vtrenz, Hubspot, Manticore, Market2Lead, Marketo, LoopFuse, einsof, iHance, Precience, among many others. That I’m sure to hear about them since I know I’ve missed adding many to this list.)

But somehow I had assumed that the more integrated vendors had already assembled a fairly complete package. Now that I’m staring at the list of components, I see how far we have to go. Demand generation systems like Vtrenz , Eloqua and Manticore combine email with some Web page creation and analytics.
