Anand Thaker, CEO and Founder of IntelliPhi, cohosts the Talking Stack podcast and contributed to the now 6,829-company MarTech Landscape Infographic. Intelliphi develops strategies, technology, and training for cognitive and data enabled marketing, sales and customer support.
Martech marries marketing and technology, creating, managing, and using digital tools to to automate tasks, facilitate data-driven decisions, measure marketing activity impact, and drive more efficient market spend. Anand comments that Martech is not just about marketing and sales enablement. In a deeper sense, it is about understanding human nature and how we connect with each other.
Companies that market need to evaluate and understand:
Customer data platforms (CDPs), unified customer databases accessible to other systems, provide structure to enable companies to better manage customer and prospect data, understand how the company and these clients engage and interact, and facilitate the appropriate application of AI to the whole body of data. For those using AI, it is important to understand how it learns and what it can and cannot do.
