Large companies have the reputation of being huge vessels that take a long time to implement new technologies. So for a trend as recent as Inbound Marketing, it might look like an unusual project. In that sense, Marketing Automation softwares  seem to fit startups or SMEs only.
However, building trust around your name/brand is a concern for everyone.  Thus, more and more big groups are considering the use of tools like Hubspot.  In this blog, read how to prepare a ground for good inbound marketing strategies in a large company. Then, learn about specific advantages and requirements needed in that context.

HubSpot is gaining in popularity: more than 20.000 people attended the Inbound17 event! 

And when contacted for a HubSpot implementation, agencies are always asked how to integrate HubSpot with other systems. Very often, a pre-existing solution is not complete, or doesn't exist. 

But worry no more:
Elixir Solutions will teach you everything about HubSpot Integrations in an exclusive webinar

SAP is a leader in enterprise solutions. But HubSpot, being a pioneer in inbound marketing, clearly has the upper hand when competing with SAP in the area of Marketing Automation.  So more and more midsize to large companies running on SAP are moving away from SAP for their marketing automation needs.  However, an integration with SAP is still required for that kind of companies, as to avoid data silo's and fully reap the benefits of working with Hubspot.

In this blog, learn how ElixirSync handles contacts, companies, leads, opportunities/deals, campaigns and other elements amongst these two systems. Simac is leveraging the strength of those two leading technologies, in order to boost both sales and marketing efficiency.

Like the State of Inbound rightfully reported, Sales and Marketing Alignment is challenging in companies of all sizes and sectors. "Closed-Loop Reporting" and "Smarketing" are no longer buzz words: these priorities must be tackled as soon as possible. Obviously, this starts with an integration between Marketing Automation and CRM tools. Less obviously: it often proves more challenging than a simple data migration.  In this week’s article, read about some of the best practices to help your company succeed in any Hubspot integration project. 

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is becoming a standard everywhere: Mobile devices, email providers, social media accounts... When connecting to a website, you get a notification on the registered devices of your choice or type in a code to verify the access.

So, it is relatively easy to set up a Multi-Factor Authentication solution as well. In this blog post, learn why MFA offers multiple advantages that increase the security of your platform, without losing any convenience or ease of use.
