Oracle Named a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for CRM Lead Management 2017

One of the most strategic technology investments made by marketing and sales teams today is a marketing automation platform that is sophisticated enough for their unique needs, but flexible enough to easily integrate with their customer relationship management (CRM) system. Marketing and Sales teams strive daily for tighter alignment, better lead quality, and customer experiences that engage their customers down a complete journey that ends in a sale. In Gartner’s 2017 Magic Quadrant for CRM Lead Management report, they evaluated 15 providers on CRM lead management criteria and have positioned Oracle in the Leaders quadrant.

Why use CRM Lead Management technologies?

Gartner states, “The fundamental goal of lead management applications is to deliver higher-value qualified opportunities to the sales team at exactly the right time.” Gartner goes on to explain, “Companies use lead management applications primarily to support the sale of "considered purchases" — any product or service that represents a significant investment for the customer and typically involves complexity that requires in-depth research. These sales are made primarily by companies selling in a business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-business-to-consumer (B2B2C) capacity, but we're seeing increased usage of lead management applications in business-to-consumer (B2C) environments where individual products or services require careful customer consideration (for example, automobiles, insurance policies, investment accounts).”

Why Oracle?

The biggest barriers to implementing adaptive, personalized programs that engage customers throughout the whole customer life-cycle usually lie in the limitations of the technology or platforms being used. With the right depth and breadth of features and integration, marketing and sales teams can collaborate to touch every part of the customer experience, driving better leads and ROI.
