Análisis de los procesos de adopción de herramientas tecnológicas de automatización para marketing en empresas de software as a service

Abstract

Currently, marketing operates in a scenario of hyperconnectivity and micro-interactions with the consumer or user, which has gained strength thanks to digital innovations and the transformation to a service-based economy. This landscape poses a challenge for the marketing field, as the same hyperconnectivity has led to intense competition for media across different available channels, as well as a need for personalization and segmentation in customer interactions that is difficult to achieve without scalable technologies that address the challenges of handling large volumes of data. Considering the implementation of Marketing Automation technologies as a strategic element for the scalability of organizations, this research is proposed. The aim is to initiate a discussion between experts in Marketing Operations and leaders in the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry, contrasting their perspectives to reach a consensus through the application of the Delphi methodology. The results present the main needs, motivations, and elements to consider in an adoption project of automation technologies for marketing in SaaS companies, according to the interpretation of two rounds of interviews proposed in unsupervised application questionnaires to experts.
