Welcome to a new year... and a new decade! Hopefully, you’ve come back well-rested and ready to hit the ground running - especially if you have big business goals for the year. In order to achieve those goals, you might need to reassess your marketing systems and processes. Are they helping propel you into 2020 and beyond, or holding you back in 2019?
To help you evaluate if your marketing automation software can handle the opportunities of a new decade, in this blog we highlight the key things to consider when looking at your current (or new) marketing software options. We also take a look at where the HubSpot Marketing Enterprise product is going - and it’s looking good. In just the first few days of 2020, we’ve already seen major news and product updates that are making Enterprise the obvious choice for businesses with big ambitions. Take a look…
Kipp Bodnar, HubSpot’s CMO, is sick and tired of enterprise software providers ignoring the pleas of their users to make their products more user-friendly. In his latest blog, he explains what makes enterprise marketing software so bad, and how to determine which software is best for your business.
But how can you tell if you’ve outgrown your enterprise software? Kipp outlines the following tests to help you find out:
Great enterprise software should reduce the amount of time it takes marketers to well, market.
Can everyone on the team use the software (and use it well)? Enterprise software needs to set the team up for success.
If the product is so good, the reviews will reflect that. Jump on G2.com and Capterra to see if they can walk the walk.
If you have multiple windows open to complete a standard marketing task, the software was not built with the user in mind.
Is your enterprise software evolving as your business does? As your needs change, your software should be able to support you.

HubSpot’s veteran partner TSL Marketing migrated a global US$22B technology company from Marketo to HubSpot Marketing Enterprise - a move that said, "Multiple divisions? No problem - we’ll integrate them all and more as you grow!"
If you’re a medium-large sized business wondering if HubSpot Marketing Enterprise can support your needs, this migration should answer your question.
Best of all? They built a process guide. Learn more here: From Marketo to HubSpot: An Enterprise Success Story
And what about the updates to the HubSpot Enterprise product? Well, along with doubling the limits across workflows, lists, and more, HubSpot has added the below features:
Revenue Attribution: Multi-touch revenue attribution allows marketers to get credit for driving business growth by tying revenue to every marketing action, and make better strategic decisions rooted in business value instead of vanity metrics. Revenue attribution connects every customer interaction to revenue, automatically.
What is multi-touch revenue attribution? What types of attribution models are there? And how can you create an attribution report in HubSpot? Download our free one-page guide to multi-touch attribution reporting.
Partitioning: Partitioning takes the pain out of staying organised. Separate your marketing assets by team, so every user has access to the right content. Better organisation and a cleaner database, made easy.
Adaptive Testing: Adaptive testing means you can optimise your conversion paths using AI. Create up to five variations of a page and over time, HubSpot sends more traffic to better-performing versions, and ultimately picks the winner for you. Less busy work for you and better performance for your pages.
