Prime Response Chosen as "Uncut Gem" by Research Board; Marketing Automation Company Highlighted as New and Useful Technology

    LONDON--Dec. 9, 1998--The European Associate Board of The Research Board has selected Prime Response, a marketing automation solutions provider offering the leading campaign management software, as an "uncut gem."
    The Research Board, whose members are senior IT executives from the world's largest corporations representing a broad cross section of industries and services, regularly highlight suppliers of new and useful technology. This year's selected "uncut gems" - Prime Response, Meta4 and SageMaker - present varied perspectives on knowledge management at the Research Board's annual meeting in Munich on Dec. 9, 1998.
    "The Research Board is constantly looking for technology innovators that will help take our member corporations into the future," said Ann Seligman, partner of The Research Board. "Previous presenters include visionaries such as Larry Ellison, Bill Gates and Lou Gerstner. This year we've highlighted Prime Response because they exemplify the characteristics of a new and useful technology."
    James Carling, the chairman, founder and CTO of Prime Response, will present "The Future of Marketing Automation." His presentation examines how future-looking companies can leverage customer knowledge in marketing to increase profits, decrease costs and gain competitive advantage.
    "Prime Response's marketing automation products are helping nearly 50 Blue Chip companies to maximize return on marketing campaigns - using touch points, such as call centers, the Internet and direct mail to focus on their most profitable customers," Carling said. "This allows companies to increase profits, through cross-selling and up-selling while maximizing the lifetime value of relationships, and identifying marketing waste, so decreasing operational costs."
