“We initiated this Demand Creation Provider evaluation framework to provide B2B marketers with valuable insight into the vendor landscape so they can make important, ROI-based decisions for selecting the right technology investments that will scale to meet evolving business requirements,” said Megan Heuer, research director, SiriusDecisions. “We hope that our clients will benefit from learning more about valuable technology and services functionality.”

According to [the] SiriusDecisions [research], “the Neolane platform offers considerable value for midsize and large organizations that need to integrate large amounts of prospect data into multiple databases, as well as to manage a distributed, global marketing organization.” Based on Neolane’s experience in B2B marketing environments, mid-enterprise organizations face many different challenges, one of the most significant being lead management and the ability to score leads to get a better feel for prospect quality. This is crucial for marketers as they search for new strategies to help generate new business and to improve and accelerate the lead generation process.

According to Neolane, its Lead Management Optimization solution is differentiated by its ability to provide marketers with one enterprise-class marketing system of record that can tightly link lead generation, management and measurement, resulting in higher quality leads through better lead capture, nurture and scoring. SiriusDecisions specifically evaluated Neolane on its lead management capabilities, stating that “Neolane’s lead management functionality includes automation and triggers based on customer behavior, which means depending on the content a prospect downloads or particular offers they show interest in, they can be served incremental offers on the fly. Advanced preferences and lead scoring capabilities are also included; a flexible rules engine lets customers define scores based on multichannel activities and then use these results to build customer profiles as scoring rules are optimized.”

“The SiriusDecisions’ evaluation effectively showcases Neolane’s powerful enterprise marketing technology and services, and focuses on the key features we believe are critical for B2B marketers to succeed,” said Stephan Dietrich, president, Neolane, Inc. “Effective lead management and scoring practices are critical in generating new business opportunities, and we are proud to be able to offer a comprehensive solution that enables marketers to improve the quality of their leads and accelerate those leads through the pipeline.”
