Solution

Integrating with the marketing technology stack

Athenahealth decided to integrate ON24 with its Eloqua marketing automation and Salesforce customer relationship management (CRM) platforms. Integration has allowed the marketing team to take advantage of:

  • Customized webinar console. The marketing team can better align webinars with the company’s brand, featuring the same colors, fonts and iconography used on the athenahealth website.
  • ON24 integration. Key information about webinar attendees is now automatically exported to the company’s marketing automation tool.
  • Lead intelligence. With a detailed analysis of webinar attendees, lead scoring is simpler. The company uses ON24’s engagement score to easily identify marketing and sales-ready leads.

“Our integration between ON24, our marketing automation and our CRM has helped with every stage of the buyer journey.”
