Marketing automation is the key to effectively engaging customers, personalizing content and maintaining competitiveness. But deploying and managing proprietary automation platforms can be complex, costly and highly limiting for marketing teams striving for greater agility.
Acquia provides a solution in Campaign Studio, the world’s first open source marketing automation platform that gives organizations and their marketing teams the flexibility to move quickly, adapt easily and automate personalized communications across all digital properties and channels.
Why open source marketing automation makes sense
The advantages of marketing automation are widely understood. A marketing automation solution enables organizations to:
- Save time by automating a myriad of time-consuming tasks, allowing marketing teams to do more with fewer resources and freeing marketers to focus on building more engaging, creative and effective campaigns
- Leverage a wider array of data to gain a clearer understanding of customers and their behavior, preferences and interests
- Launch, manage, track and report on marketing campaigns, optimizing efforts to improve engagement and deliver results
- Minimize errors, inefficiencies and missed opportunities by systematizing all aspects of marketing campaigns and routines
- Personalize content more effectively to increase engagement and drive deeper relationships with customers
For all the benefits of marketing automation, most marketing automation platforms are highly complex to deploy, manage and upgrade. Proprietary systems lock companies into a specific set of solutions, robbing them of the ability to use the best tools for any particular job. Successful marketing campaigns need data from a wide range of systems and must tap into the full power of the martech stack, yet proprietary marketing automation solutions are more interested in investing in their own products than creating integrations for data and other technologies. And on top of these challenges, the cost of proprietary marketing automation systems can consume a significant part of marketing budgets.
The answer: open source marketing automation technology that provides all the benefits of marketing automation on a cost-effective, future-proofed open platform that enables easier integration, innovation and evolution as the marketing landscape changes.
