Titans of the Marketing Cloud on What Marketing Really Thinks of IT
There was no mincing words at last week's Demandbase Summit panel discussion State of the Marketing Cloud. Representatives from tech titans Oracle, Salesforce, Adobe, Google, and SAP had a lot to say about the promise of their marketing clouds to liberate marketers from the clutches of IT. My favorite quote of the day was from Jaimy Anderson of SAP:
"Marketing clouds signal self-determination and freedom for the marketer. We're no longer bound by IT." #b2bsummit

This and more in a round-up of a few of my favorite panel tweets.
