Gartner defines account-based marketing (ABM) platforms as software that enables B2B marketing and sales teams to run ABM programs at scale, including account discovery and selection, planning, engagement and reporting. ABM platforms enable the creation of target account lists by unifying first- and third-party data. In addition, they may engage audiences by activating channels such as display advertising, social advertising, email and sales engagement using a mix of native capabilities and integrations.
Revenue data solutions (RDS) provide proprietary, third-party and AI/ML-driven customer data to commercial teams. They make this data accessible as a stand-alone offering and/or through a SaaS product for integration into various technologies across the revenue tech stack. Data-driven commercial teams rely on RDS’ actionable context and guidance to prioritize and engage buyers. RDS solutions are used across functions to facilitate scoring, planning, business analytics and data management.
