SERVICE BUSINESS
 

Vtrenz provides leading, affordable Enterprise Marketing Management ("EMM") solutions for small and medium-size businesses ("SMBs") that allow its customers to save time, reduce costs, and increase sales opportunities and revenue. Deployed as an application solution provider ("ASP") at a reasonable annual subscription rate, it is the most attractive and affordable solution for this market. To deploy iMarketing Automation™, its clients require no software, no servers, and no IT department typical of other EMM solutions that are too costly for SMBs. iMarketing Automation™ enables direct marketing professionals to develop a dynamic, repeatable, and measurable lead generation process, which increases response rates, accelerates sales opportunities, and provides clear visibility into marketing initiatives. The company merged with SilverPop in 2007, creating the largest on demand eMarketing service provider. In December 2008, Vtrenz was recognized by Forrester as the #1 Marketing Automation vendor based on both business value provided by the product and market suitability.
