FusionStorm Selects Marketo for Global Revenue Performance Management (RPM) Initiative
Information Technology Company Turns to Marketo to Improve Sales Effectiveness and Marketing ROI
SAN MATEO, Calif. (June 15, 2011) – Marketo, the fastest-growing provider of Revenue Performance Management solutions, today has announced FusionStorm, an award-winning information technology delivery company, as a new customer. FusionStorm chose Marketo to ramp up its marketing automation efforts and to drive the company’s Revenue Performance Management initiative.
FusionStorm, founded in 1995, is a high-growth provider of IT that delivers enterprise technology and consulting. The company offers technology solutions and both cloud/managed data services for enterprise companies of all sizes. Headquartered in San Francisco, with offices nationwide, FusionStorm generated nearly $500 million in business last year.
“Our marketing team is among the most seasoned in the industry, but prior to Marketo we lacked the right insight and analytics around our sales leads and website activity to move our business forward,” said Josh Krasnegor, vice president of marketing, FusionStorm. “Now, Marketo makes it possible to get the right leads at the right level into our sales process and drastically improve our marketing operations and sales effectiveness. I’m able to use Marketo to determine our most effective campaigns and use that data to accurately predict which campaigns will generate the greatest returns down the road.”
“FusionStorm’s global rollout of Marketo’s Revenue Performance Management solution is a highly strategic initiative for us. Marketo gives me the data-based insight I need from our marketing and sales efforts to share with my management. Now, I can allocate my spending more effectively, and enable our marketing and sales team to spend their time on the highest priority opportunities. With Marketo, we have transformed marketing from being viewed as a cost-center and support only, to a revenue generator,” Krasnegor concluded.
“FusionStorm is a terrific example of a Marketo RPM success story,” said Jon Miller, vice president of marketing, Marketo. “The company is amplifying the reach and pace of its consulting business by expanding lead flow, optimizing its sales and marketing investments, and improving overall productivity. We look forward to working with them as they continue to innovate with Marketo.”
