Original Press Release:
Aprimo® Announces New Lead Management Application for Salesforce.com's AppExchange
Customers will benefit from powerful and automated lead generation, capture, and assignment directly to their sales team
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17 /-- Aprimo Inc., a global leader in Enterprise Marketing Management (EMM), today announced the immediate availability of Aprimo Lead Management for AppExchange, an application that automates the lead generation and management process to effortlessly deliver more qualified leads through Salesforce. This integration between Aprimo Enterprise(TM) and Salesforce is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding business-to-business and field sales marketing organizations. Aprimo will be exhibiting its new AppExchange products in booth 101 at Dreamforce 2007, salesforce.com's annual user and developer conference, in San Francisco from September 16 to 19, 2007.
Aprimo Lead Management for AppExchange connects the lead management, campaign planning and execution capabilities of Aprimo to the sales prospecting and account management functionality within salesforce.com's SFA (Sales Force Automation) application. Lead Management offers additional capabilities to develop and execute multi-channel, multi-wave communication plans that automatically and continuously generate leads to Salesforce without additional marketing effort. In addition to generating and capturing new prospects, Lead Management can also nurture prospects into leads and assign qualified leads to the correct sales person.
"Momentum for the AppExchange continues to grow as industry-leading companies like Aprimo deliver advanced functionality that customers can leverage with minimal investment," said George Hu, Chief Marketing Officer, salesforce.com. "Aprimo Lead Management for AppExchange will give customers the ability to develop and cultivate relationships with their most promising prospects, as well as better manage marketing events and promotions."
Aprimo Enterprise's new product for the AppExchange is a configurable and extendable Adaptor that leverages Aprimo's Service Oriented Architecture to access the AppExchange application programming interface using web services. This web-based integration allows Aprimo and Salesforce to synchronize campaign, lead, contact, account, and opportunity data across both systems and is configurable to each customer's specific requirements or needs. Customers can define the system of record and specify which fields to integrate as well as conduct basic data transformations. There are no hard-coded integration rules that force customers to change their lead management processes.
"Closing the loop between contacting and growing prospects into leads is critical to aligning marketing and sales," said Michael Emerson, Aprimo CMO. "All too often, marketing generates leads that grow cold from inattention. This closed-loop process will connect the strong leads to sales in order to drive action while the opportunity is hot."
