Here we look at what Aprimo has achieved in the niche area of Integrated Marketing Management.* **Unlocking the Value in Online Data **![Aprimo](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/file-13812509-jpg/images/1011aprimo-resized-600.jpg?width=150&height=210&name=1011aprimo-resized-600.jpg)Commenting on the recent acquisition by Teradata of Stevie Award-winning marketing software and services company Aprimo, [Suresh Vittal](http://blogs.forrester.com/suresh_vittal/10-12-22-the_marketing_software_convergence_continues_teradata_acquires_aprimo_for_525_million) of Forrester Research highlighted the increasing importance of Integrated Marketing Management: “Besides being a growth category—our last forecast estimated that this market is growing at roughly 17%—campaign management is mission critical. It is the fundamental technology that allows marketers to use customer data to develop relevant, multichannel communications. “Simply put, it unlocks the value in customer data. This is particularly timely given the unprecedented growth in data volumes, driven primarily by the popularity of online, social, and mobile channels.” **A Single Marketing Solution** It’s clear that today’s marketing professional has to deal with many challenges, not the least of which are the number of new social media channels that appear on an almost daily basis. He or she also experiences the demoralizing effect of churn in senior marketing positions and the constant pressure to improve return on investment (ROI) while doing more with less. With its aim to be a catalyst of marketing innovation, in 2010 Aprimo added to its suite of Integrated Marketing Management solutions by introducing Aprimo Marketing Studio®.   According to Bill Godfrey, co-founder of Aprimo: “From day one, Aprimo's vision has been to give B2B and B2C marketers a single solution to integrate all of their marketing, including people, processes, channels, and technology.”**** **Aprimo Marketing Studio® On Demand** Four of the ways that Aprimo Marketing Studio® (AMS) On Demand can help marketers to improve their ROI are by: 1. Accelerating time to market for revenue-generating campaigns, product launches, and strategic brand initiatives; 2. Enabling smarter decisions across the enterprise by leveraging data to gain insights, recognize emerging opportunities, and respond quickly; 3. Optimizing and delivering successful campaigns seamlessly across all digital channels; and 4. Streamlining operations to drive more effective marketing. **A Complete View** Aprimo takes a holistic view of marketing from the planning and operational stage through execution to reporting and optimization. AMS™ On Demand supports this approach as it allows customers to keep all online and offline marketing activities, the associated attachments, supporting documents, costs, and marketing assets in one knowledge base. This complete view is required to evaluate a company’s marketing portfolio, manage resources, and optimize marketing ROI. AMS™ On Demand helps to create a true partnership between various departments in an organization, which in turn makes companies more efficient. **Aprimo Mobile** In the past year, Aprimo also launched a new offering, Aprimo Mobile, which enables marketers to manage critical initiatives like campaigns, activities and reports generated in AMS™ On Demand from any smartphone device, including the iPad™, iPhone®, and BlackBerry® and DROID™ devices.  This is the first mobile marketing solution that lets marketers keep campaigns moving, regardless of location, and make better, more informed decisions from the road. **Global Marketing** Aprimo’s cloud-based Integrated Marketing Management solutions now have more than 150,000 professional users worldwide, including over one third of *Fortune *100 companies and nearly one quarter of Global 100 companies, more than all other integrated marketing software vendors combined. **Merger with Teradata** In January 2011, Aprimo was acquired by [Teradata](http://www.teradata.com/), a company focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics.  Aprimo co-founder Bill Godfrey commented: “[The acquisition] is a significant step forward in our successful journey in being the recognized leader of Integrated Marketing Management solutions. The combination of our teams and solutions will enable us to continue accelerating growth, fueling innovation for our customers, and rapidly expanding our global presence. With these combined assets, we look forward to delivering world-class applications that will greatly benefit our customers and partners, and provide a vibrant environment for Aprimo’s team.” Aprimo will remain located in Indianapolis. **About Bill Godfrey:** William (Bill) Godfrey is the visionary driving Aprimo's strategic direction and integration with Teradata Corporation.
