What is Martech Enablement?
According to contributor Peter Ladka, author of MarTech Today’s “A Nine-Part Practical Guide to Martech Enablement,” martech enablement is:

Ultimately, it’s getting the right information at the right time into the hands of marketers so they can effectively engage their customers to build brand, market products and services and assist the sales organization.
