Preparing Data to Drive Marketing Intelligence
Posted Thursday, June 26, 2008 by Tracy Guilford

With a slowing economy, it is important to use information to drive marketing communications. Data collection and analysis needs to create business intelligence that marketers can use to identify the right opportunity at the right time and guides marketers to deliver the right message.

Data is everywhere. It is with sales reps, in departmental databases, in market research departments, and list processing services to name a few. The first step to turning this data into marketing information is to utilize data management services.   

A key element to data management services is electronic data processing. Automatic data processing is used to consolidate data into a 360 view of the customer. Data quality management uses hygiene procedures to clean and standardize the data. Data consultants can assist in recommending data management solutions to address specific needs and concerns.
