Tealium Announces Data Connectors to Major Marketing Clouds: Oracle Responsys, Silverpop and StrongView

Tealium is currently known as a market leader in enterprise tag management and solutions. Today Tealium announced new data connectors that allow enterprises to integrate rich audience profile data into leading marketing clouds, including Oracle Responsys, Silverpop (recently acquired by IBM) and StrongView. Tealium also announced today an email integration with the Salesforce ExactTargetMarketing Cloud.

My POV: What seems most significant about this that most Marketers probably have a number of different types of marketing applications, from different vendors. Often one vendor does not provide all the capabilities that a brand would want, so they end up having to buy several different vendors. Before this Tealium’s connector, it was more difficult to be able to integrate audience profile data into ALL of the separate applications. The connector now makes it possible to connect all the best in breed software solutions and maximize the value of their marketing cloud investments and launch more profitable and relevant remarketing campaigns.

AudienceStream is a complementary service for Tealium iQ, the company’s market-leading tag management solution, which provides a foundational data layer to sync all cloud-based marketing applications and make them more actionable.

How does this work? Tealium provides a foundation platform that enables enterprises to build their own marketing cloud, and with Tealium they can enable these best-of-breed point solutions to share data for the first time to drive more personalized and impactful marketing campaigns across channels. The new email connectors, which are built into Tealium AudienceStream, the company’s award-winning audience segmentation and action engine, provide for deeper integration with leading marketing cloud vendors, including the ability to trigger real-time marketing interactions based on cross-channel behavior and visitor personas.

Here’s Some Highlights:

• The new connectors are part of an action-focused integration marketplace within AudienceStream that includes email, CRM and retargeting vendors. Tealium will soon be announcing additional integrations with key vendors spanning content management, site optimization, and more.
• With AudienceStream, marketers can create on-the-fly segments around their most actionable triggers and events, and then distribute that information to email vendors in real time via the connectors. This enables users to set up timely email interactions based on any combination of visitor behavior or achievement, such as cart abandonment, product interest, lifetime value and much more.
• Combined with AudienceStream, the new connectors enable marketers to bring fragmented data together in real-time, as opposed to the 24-48 hour delay that most marketers face due to traditional, resource-heavy data integration approaches. This empowers marketers to drive immediate action and superior results.
