SalesForce taps Demandbase for real time ID

SalesForce is a cloud computing hub helping offering brands a CRM that includes cloud platform and apps so that employees can collaborate and connect with customers. By utilizing the Demandbase platform, businesses will be able to identify anonymous online traffic, figure out why that prospect is visiting and from there create the most relevant experience.

"For years, Salesforce has been the glue between sales and marketing, but there has been no automated way to move key web engagement activity to Salesforce or to alert the sales team when key accounts are active on the site. Instead, sales teams have been dependent on marketing staff to provide information about customer and prospect engagements that fall outside of sales responsibilities," said Greg Ott, CMO of Demandbase. "Through our customers, we've learned that, extending the Real-Time Identification API algorithmic rules and creating simple user-defined threshold settings, helps better align sales and marketing departments by automating data flow, and enables quicker closing rates and more lead conversions. We expect to see wide adoption of this API by our customers by the end of the year."

Real-Time Identification from Demandbase is used by some heavyweights in the online space including Adobe, Strongmail and Informatica. The systems helps to personalize website content, helping to increase engagement and online conversions. By identifying prospects in real time, valuable time is not lost, engagement is increased and businesses have a better chance to provide relevant content in a matter of moments.
