One of the advantages of technology is that there are a lot of concrete numbers that will support your decisions.<\/li>\n<li>Technology is just a tool to helps you automate processes. Make sure that the processes behind programs and activities that you chose to enable brand revenue objectives are optimized.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Make sure that the Marketing Technology team supports and has methods of measuring the key performance indicators identified in step 7.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Make sure that you align the application selection process to favor those applications whose foundation is aligned with IT\u2019s architecture. For example, if IT is running Microsoft applications with .Net and SQL databases, it is preferable, but not mandatory to select systems with the same underlying technologies to benefit from synergies.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom: 10px;\">Prioritize the implementation of the technology architecture according to the program and activity prioritization identified in step 5.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In today\u2019s reality we are all challenged to deliver MM4L (much more for less). To achieve that goal, it is critical to articulate Marketing Technology\u2019s revenue and cost reducing objectives and provide a simple yet effective way to measure performance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span><strong>Gilbert Sabat<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span>Gilbert is a marketing technologist with over 15 years\u2019 experience in small to Fortune 500 companies.
