I am affiliated with Act-On. I originally submitted this article to AfC in 2012. Since then, the article has gotten very out-of-date. Upon a fresh look, I also felt the dedicated Awards section was promotional, the Technical section trivial, and that it wasn't really fair to mention the MarketBright acquisition without including that MarketBright was struggling, which is prominent in the sources. I also found that the software was much more notable than the company, so it should be a software page with a Background section to talk about the company, rather than a company page. Finally, I also found some really comprehensive reviews, that I think in addition to making the Reception section more comprehensive, will balance it just a tad by including more criticisms (their reviews are generally positive, but these new reviews have a pretty balanced take).
I've prepared a revised at: User:CorporateM/Act-On and I was hoping an impartial editor would take a look and provide any feedback, assess whether it is an improvement and so on.
One item I would appreciate input on specifically is the blog "Customer Experience Matrix." It appears to be a self-published blog hosted on blogspot, but authored by an industry analyst. If it is reliable I think it could be used to expand the Version history section.
I realize it is difficult to compare two versions when the current article is already reasonably developed. Let me know if there is a better way to do it. CorporateM ( Talk) 18:18, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
In discussing Act-On's origins, this source says:
Should the article go with number 1 with something like
Or with number 2
One of the biggest differences being that "marketing automation software" is a very specific thing, while "online marketing software" may be broader.
