TreeHouse Interactive Announces Integration of Marketing View, its demand generation solution with Oracle Corp CRM On Demand

TreeHouse Interactive announced that Marketing View, its demand generation solution, now integrates with Oracle Corp. CRM On Demand. This integration allows customers to pass qualified leads into Oracle CRM On Demand and generate ROI reporting by campaign as sales leads evolve into viable opportunities and closed deals. This integration gives Oracle CRM On Demand customers access to leading demand generation and marketing automation capabilities that leverage the strength of their Oracle system. Joint customers will be able to better manage leads and campaigns, as well as gain insight into program ROI. This new integration enables ANY size marketing team--without the aid of an IT staff--to launch sophisticated marketing on their own, tightly integrate it with Oracle CRM On Demand and get ROI reporting regardless of the sales model they use (B2B, B2C, or channel). With the Oracle CRM On Demand integration, qualified leads are delivered through Marketing View landing pages, registration forms, Web contact forms and microsites as a result of related Marketing View email campaigns or social media efforts. Based on an agreed upon lead definition between sales and marketing, qualified prospects are then passed to Oracle CRM On Demand. Advanced logic can be applied to determine which answers or set of answers constitute a qualified lead. The lead information is then mapped to standard Oracle CRM On Demand fields. The integration is easy to set up and users can specify to what fields in Oracle CRM On Demand lead information is sent. Marketing View will provide salespeople working in Oracle CRM On Demand a more detailed marketing history for every lead than was available before. Sales teams will be able to see any campaign, email or automated nurturing activity a lead has received and be able to see behaviors like email opens, form submissions, webinar registrations, trade shows attended, documents downloaded or links clicked before they pick up the phone. Sales personnel can even view actual emails sent to leads or contacts directly from within Oracle CRM On Demand.
