The engage word is prolific these days -- its popularity far ahead of the practices which cultivate it. Tools are evolving to help, but they are probably best considered threads in the fabric, rather than the magic solution for your analytic and communicative needs.
Web Engagement Management (WEM) will iterate in practical application and our knowledge will continue to evolve. Analysts Scott Liewehr and Ian Truscott of The Gilbane Group are furthering the cause with an investigation of the core capabilities of WEM, and then going another step with maturity measures for each area.
