Oracle Pools Its Acquisitions, Enters The Marketing Cloud Arena

Oracle has launched the Oracle Marketing Cloud, a platform combines the capabilities of its acquisitions such as Eloqua, BlueKai, Compendium and Responsys along with Oracle’s Social Cloud.

Now GM of the Oracle Marketing Cloud, Kevin Akeroyd said in the announcement that the new platform offers “a unified Modern Marketing platform with integrated cross-channel marketing, content marketing, social marketing, and data management for enterprise B2B and B2C”.

Oracle joins Adobe, IBM and Salesforce among others in the push to provide a comprehensive cloud-based marketing platform.
