MA and CMS Tips
§ Sitecore
– Big benefits having integrated MA & Web functionality
– More powerful and customizable
– But less out of box functionality
§ MA tools
– More functionality out of the box
– But less customization to your unique needs
– Can still make sense to start using separate MA tool with Sitecore
§ Tips
– Some MA tools do integrate with CRM directly and share web
visits through JS tags
– Rapid change and consolidation requires hesitation when deeply
embedded in one MA product
