Campaign Management

Competitive Intelligence
It is critical that your product management, marketing, and sales teams understand the strengths and weaknesses of your competitors. Open Text solutions for Marketing enable your teams to gather information, share it, and engage in dialogue to understand the impact and develop plans of attack.
Marketing Collateral Management
Global markets demand a global approach to marketing. The materials that you produce must reach audiences with different perspectives and, in many cases, different language needs.
Solutions for Marketing support secure, Web-based, collaborative workspaces in which your marketing team can work together with product development and sales staff in order to create, review, approve and publish marketing materials needed for product launches and marketing campaigns.
Product Launch
Solutions combine traditionally independent technologies like program management, team support and sales force automation on a secure, integrated platform. This unification enables key processes—such as product releases—to be managed from beginning to end. Promotion, for example, which can span the preparation and implementation phases of the product launch, can be closely managed in relation to other activities. When a last-minute change in channel strategy is required, the planned promotional activities must also be changed. Disseminating the right information to the right people at the right time is an inherent part of the change management process. The ability to tightly manage and execute processes translates directly into shorter cycle times and reduced costs. After all, if you can avoid a print run of user manuals because a last-minute change wasn’t identified and sent to the translation agency, you can see immediate and significant savings.
Web Content Management
Solutions for Marketing support your Web content management needs to develop, manage, and publish targeted Web content to multiple audiences across geographic and language barriers, contextually tailored to meet the needs of your diverse audiences.
