Orbis Global Recognizes Teradata’s Acquisition of Aprimo Proves Demand for Marketing Software

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 23, 2010 - Orbis Global, a leading provider of integrated marketing management software, provides commentary on the announcement of Teradata’s plans to acquire Aprimo Inc. and the recent acquisition of Unica Corporation by IBM.

These recent acquisitions indicate that businesses have an ever-increasing need for integrated marketing management software that increases speed to market, streamlines processes and improves productivity.

“Orbis Global is excited by these recent acquisitions as it further legitimizes our value proposition: that Marketing must become super efficient and agile in orchestrating resources and funds across a highly complex multi-channel marketing process. Ten years ago marketers were dealing with 10 to 15 channels by which they could influence consumer behaviour. Today there are over 50 channels and counting.” said Grant Halloran, Chief Executive Officer at Orbis Global. “There is little point in having an advanced customer-centric marketing strategy if you have poor control over the hundreds of marketers in your team and the millions of dollars at your disposal. Teradata has now recognized this and placed a significant strategic value on the capability that Aprimo promises.”

Aprimo has been a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for marketing resource management software for many years. Orbis Global is a visionary in this same quadrant and has a growing global footprint. “Both Orbis Global and Aprimo have shared a vision, for over a decade, of a world where complex marketing processes are made rigorous; funds and activities can become easily track-able and millions of dollars of wasted marketing investment can be put back into the mix and used to generate higher returns”, said Mr Halloran.

Orbis Global’s innovative marketing software improves the effectiveness of marketing by increasing operational efficiency and decreasing costs enabling organizations to generate more revenues from high volumes of marketing and focus on high-yield marketing activities.
