Dive Insight:
General Manager for Oracle Marketing Cloud Kevin Akeroyd explained the marketing challenges tackled by the service: “Customers interact with companies in dozens of highly fragmented touchpoints. Most companies can’t put together the ‘you’ they know in each of those—you end up being 17 different customers in 17 different databases within one company.”
Oracle hopes its new improvements will benefit users and help the company stay current in the ongoing race between marketing cloud platforms.
