For Interactive Marketing Professionals (Length: 8 pages)

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Today interactive marketing is a fragmented discipline in which marketers work with many different vendors to develop and execute marketing programs. But as the number of channels and programs grow, this situation becomes untenable. Today's interactive marketers have few options as neither enterprise marketing suites nor interactive specialists address their needs. Forrester believes that the time is right for the online marketing suite to emerge. This suite, underpinned by a central hub, is the eventual destiny for all online marketing technology and will enable a single view of the customer across channels, provide process tools to support collaboration, centralize optimization, and support a partner ecosystem.
