Silverpop Gets High Marks from Educational-Focused Companies

ATLANTA- School enrollment is steady across the nation and is increasing at some institutions, causing educational-focused companies like Datatel, Inc. to seek sophisticated marketing automation solutions like Silverpop's Engage B2B to manage and monitor customer and prospect marketing programs.

Datatel─a leading provider of technology products, services, and insight to colleges, universities, and technical schools─ recently selected Silverpop Engage B2B marketing automation solution in a three-year agreement to help the company maximize efficiencies and improve customer loyalty and lifetime value.

 "Datatel has nearly 800 clients, and Silverpop's Engage B2B solution has the nurturing functionality to help us differentiate our comprehensive product line to them," said Brian Shaner, manager, business intelligence, Datatel.  He said that Engage B2B was chosen over competitors for its relational tables, Campaign Graphical User Interface (GUI), dynamic content, and segmentation capabilities.

"Silverpop will help us and our clients experience continued success, so important during these challenging times," Shaner said.

Silverpop Engage B2B's relational tables enable marketers to store and access complex, multilayered customer information, making it easier to send customers information about upgrades, ancillary products to previous purchases, loyalty programs based on past purchases and much more. And Silverpop's Campaign GUI uniquely gives marketers a drag-and-drop story board-like editor to easily create campaign flow for even the most complex lead-management programs.
