Eloqua offers two marketing automation platforms, Eloqua9 and the recently announced (October 2010) Eloqua10. The latter is a Rich Internet Application that’s based on SproutCorp technology. It’s value proposition is the combination of predictive analytics (allowing marketers to know, in real time, which campaigns will have the greatest impact on revenue) and a more simple UX.
The company offers a number of product features, most notably Eloqua Discover for Salesforce.com, which alerts sales reps using Salesforce.com to the hottest leads based on the prospects’ “digital body language,” a concept pioneered by Eloqua in the book of the same name by the company’s co-founder and CTO, Steve Woods.
