Shared learning from the martech OASIS companies — Investment, innovation and integration

The martech landscape is experiencing sequential cycles of fragmentation and consolidation. Driven by the widespread adoption of enterprise cloud solutions, the Martech 5000 (the annual list of all martech vendors and tools) now contains

1. Customer Relationship Management (CRM).

2. Marketing Automation.

3. Content Management Systems (CMS).

4. Data Management Platforms (DMP).

5. Tag Management.

6. Account-Based Marketing Platforms (ABM).
