I
was at the Immediacy Partner Day on Wednesday in London and met the new
owners (Alterian) for the first time. The mood amongst the Immediacy, sorry
Alterian as they now are, staff was very buoyant. Alterian has come in and
appears to have taken the time to understand the businesses - Immediacy and
Mediasurface - and rationalised the operations to act as one company. The
upshot of this is one support team, one product management team, one sales team
etc. which broadens the offering the partners can provide.
It was a very interesting day not least as the team demo'ed the new version
6.1 and then presented their vision for the integration of the Alterian Digital
marketing software into the WCM offerings. If Alterian achieves what they
are planning we will see some very innovative and exciting functionality in the
WCM platforms some time next year.
