Event Triggered Marketing
Alterian acquired social media and analytics provider Techrigy back in July of next year, adding to their interactive marketing platform. They now have a beta version of Alterian Alchemy which they previewed at DMA last week. Alterian Alchemy is the framework for Alterian's next generation of customer engagement solutions which will range from campaign management to engagement management.
Social Media Monitoring Console
One piece of the Alchemy framework is a new social media monitoring dashboard, which is compared to that provided by Radian 6. According to Marshall Sponder on WebMediaMatrix, the new dashboard runs on top of Silverlight and includes automatic keyword categorization capabilities. Some of the new features include the ability to collect up to 40 million social media results per day, bulk import and improved keyword validation.
