preferences across channels. It also allows organizations
to give individuals more control over managing their own
preferences, such as message types, topics of interest, contact
frequency, language, and message formats.

optional Oracle’s Siebel Data Quality solution); list/subscription
management; and automated subscribe/unsubscribe functionality,
including one-click opt-out processing.
Content Creation and Management
Allows marketers to leverage virtually any stored
data to personalize the content of e-mail messages, including
the subject line, “from” line, salutation, and
message body. Marketers can build complex conditional content
rules to include or exclude certain sections of content and
support dynamic e-newsletter programs. It provides support
for template management, HTML, Multipart MIME, rich media
messages, and Web surveys with personalized values to hyperlinks.
Email Execution
Provides a proven, highly scalable, and high-speed
content generation and delivery engine that meets the needs
of even the largest consumer marketers at a low total
cost of ownership. It ensures that customers receive the
optimal media type based on their preferences or e-mail rendering
capabilities.
Response Management
Provides a best-in-class, scalable bounced-message
handler and click-through server. It automatically categorizes
and differentiates “hard” from “soft” bounce
types and processes bounced messages based on configurable
rules. This saves organizations significant time and money
and increases customer satisfaction. When combined with other
Siebel CRM applications from Oracle, it lets an organization
leverage best-in-class lead management capabilities to maximize
conversion rates.
Tracking and Response Analysis Provides real-time visibility into key performance
metrics so that marketers can analyze the effectiveness of
their campaigns and take corrective actions as needed, to
drive results. These metrics cover delivery statistics, response
analyses, and subscriber analyses and include key metrics
such as message open rates, number of unsubscribes,
and unique click-throughs. Combined with Oracle’s Siebel
Marketing Analytics, it lets marketers quickly turn valuable
insight drawn from data into a new campaign or segment with
the click of a button.
