Marketing Advocate Included in Independent Analyst Research Report on Channel Marketing Tools and Technology
Centerville, MA (PRWEB) April 15, 2014 -- Marketing Advocate, the pioneer in Through-Partner Marketing Automation (TPMA) software, has been identified in a new Forrester Research, Inc., report among channel technology vendors.
Authored by Forrester analyst Peter O’Neill and released on February 5, 2014, “Leverage The Channel Management Technology Spectrum” provides an overview of today’s commercial channel management software landscape and recommendations on how to bolster Partner Relationship Management (PRM) systems.
Ian Pennell, Chief Sales Officer for Marketing Advocate, says, “Forrester understands that for many OEM vendors, channel partner loyalty is waning and new approaches are needed to build a channel management technology investment business case. This report provides helpful insights on how technology vendors can increase revenues by gaining a better understanding of the pain that partners face and by putting the tools in place that make partner needs a priority.”
Forrester suggests that opportunities have risen to remedy channel loyalty and that a new era of PRM software has dawned. According to the report, “Instead of tacking on new channel capabilities to a relic PRM system, channel professionals should replace their channel management systems, or deploy commercial software products for niche channel management functions if the purchase cannot be justified.” The report added, “TPMA vendors have extended the value of marketing automation to vendors’ and suppliers’ channel partners.”
This 2014 report is available on the Resources section of the Marketing Advocate Web site and is complimentary to all users who register.
