If I were more on the ball, I would have noticed that May 25 marked a full year since Oracle bought the intellectual property* of high-end B2B marketing automation vendor Market2Lead. Except for improved reporting, the features of the new Oracle product are pretty much the same as the old Market2Lead, which I last reviewed two years ago.

But I also knew that some of the vendors focused on complex programs ( Market2Lead , Marketbright and arguably Silverpop/Vtrenz ) embed similar-looking list-style campaigns within a larger flow logic. Marketbright and the new Market2Lead interface use an actual flow chart; Silverpop/Vtrenz uses non-visual rules.

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.

Market2Lead and Marketbright also use the company data and links imported from Salesforce.com.

The question here is whether most demand generation systems ( Eloqua , Vtrenz , Marketo , Market2Lead , Manticore , etc.) I’ve now carefully reviewed my notes on this topic, and can tell you that Marketo and Market2Lead currently have this capability, while the other vendors I’ve listed should have it before the end of the year.

When I was researching last week’s piece on Market2Lead , one of the points that vendor stressed was their ability to create a full-scale marketing database with information from external sources to analyze campaign results.

Nor have I forgotten that Oracle already bought marketing automation vendor Market2Lead, plugging a different set of holes. Since ATG itself provides substantial online marketing functionality, there’s a smaller gap for Oracle to fill with a separate marketing automation purchase.

It will also be competing with Eloqua, Silverpop and, perhaps most dangerously, the Market2Lead technology recently purchased by Oracle. The Market2Lead-Oracle deal raises the other major question facing marketing automation vendors: what role CRM vendors will play? who are entering this market from a different direction.

In other words, Marketing Studio competes with high-end demand generation systems like Eloqua , Market2Lead and Neolane. Eloqua and Market2Lead are based on sales automation data, but can incorporate external tables. (For more on vendor classifications, see my list of demand generation vendors from last November.)

We’ve already seen this with Oracle ’s purchase of Market2Lead (now apparently embedded in the Oracle OnDemand CRM system) and, depending on how you look at it, in IBM ’s purchase of Unica. We’ve also seen various Web content management vendors ( Marqui , SiteCore ) add marketing functionality.

Of course, Oracle has already made its move by purchasing Market2Lead's intellectual assets. Of the remainder, the stronger firms will probably be purchased by companies seeking enter the demand generation space, and the weaker firms will quietly go out of business or be purchased for their client lists.

Industry consolidation is starting (Market2lead acquired, LeadGenesys refocused). This is supported by the main trends in the Marketing Automation market: The product scope of all marketing automation vendors is quite similar. There is severe competition (30+ vendors). Land grab is common, where vendors lower prices to get customers on board.

According to Market2Lead, the sales cycle is nearly 25% shorter for nurtured leads. Do they want to know more, hear from you less often, or express an idea for a new feature? Lead nurturing helps provide the means they need to stay engaged with you and your offerings. Shorten the Time Between Initial Contact and the Sale.
