Delta Faucet to Standardize Marketing Operations on Aprimo Marketing Platform

Six marketing groups come together on a single platform


INDIANAPOLIS (November 5, 2001) -Delta Faucet Company, known worldwide for
its faucets and related accessories, has selected Aprimo™ Marketing to help
manage its marketing initiatives.  Aprimo is designed to increase speed to
market, improve communication internally and with customers, enhance
campaign execution and proactively manage product development efforts.
Aprimo expects a centralized system will allow Delta’s six marketing groups
to plan more efficiently, as well as manage and analyze marketing
activities.  This system should also give the sales and marketing teams a
way to more effectively communicate the status of projects and obtain
feedback from their colleagues.  A more efficient way for the marketing team
to view the status of each project, enabling them to be even more proactive
in managing the tasks necessary to complete each project is also a key.
Aprimo™ Marketing is a real-time platform that gives insight into all
marketing efforts and increases productivity by streamlining internal
communications.  This technology provides an effective way to communicate
across marketing and other departments, so that marketing can become more
deeply entrenched in the product development planning process.
Aprimo also expects Delta to benefit from measurable cost savings due to the
solution’s comprehensive budget planning, campaign management and analysis
components.


Through Aprimo™ Marketing’s Direct Marketer application, savings are
expected from digitizing various assets and electronically distributing
marketing collateral to customers, significantly reducing mailing costs.
This application should also help enable real-time, targeted communication
with the company’s various target audiences, including building contractors
and consumers.  Utilizing the Aprimo™ Marketing Financial Manager and
Aprimo™ Marketing Strategic Planner applications allows better tracking of
campaigns and their associated costs and enables zeroing in on those
campaigns that are delivering a return on investment.
Unlike traditional CRM solutions, Aprimo™ Marketing focuses on very clearly
defined marketing issues that can be addressed quickly and effectively.
