Marketing data integration: Don’t neglect the fundamentals - VentureBeat | The MarTech Digest | Scoop.it
  • Collectively exhaustive: Your connectivity layer should be “fit for purpose” for powering your entire stack, not just a component of it. 
  • Low maintenance: Your connectivity layer should eliminate, or at least minimize significantly, the overhead associated with maintaining third-party APIs. 
  • Open: Your connectivity layer should be partner and channel agnostic.  
  • Flexible: Your connectivity layer should be able to “translate” in order to support all of the various schemas utilized by each of the endpoints across your marketing stack. 
  • Secure: Your connectivity layers needs to be secure and reliable from end to end.

Over 90% of marketers believe that highly integrated platforms will help deliver more efficient programs, better customer experiences and higher marketing ROI. However, because marketers have on average 17 different applications that are highly integrated at only one quarter of the companies surveyed, fewer than 5% of marketers believe their platforms have them well prepared to move ahead with cross-channel marketing.
