Organizations interested in implementing a marketing automation software (MAS) to assist in the execution and reporting of marketing campaigns are likely to come across Eloqua. Founded in 1999, Eloqua is now the centerpiece of the Oracle Marketing Cloud.
Eloqua offers three different packages of their marketing automation software:
- Basic,
- Standard, and
- Enterprise.
Capabilities vary from package to package. Targeting and segmentation, campaign management, sales enablement, lead management, the Eloqua AppCloud, content marketing, marketing measurement, social relationship marketing and customer lifecycle marketing campaigns are of note.
From an integration standpoint, Eloqua utilizes their own “integration studio” which natively syncs the MAS with customer relationship management (CRM) systems Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Oracle/Siebel CRM On Demand.
