That’s all possible when you pair Eloqua with another tool from Oracle: Oracle Unity CDP. Today, we’re looking at a few important advantages this pair-up offers.

1. Advanced Segmentation for Refined Targeting

One of the biggest challenges marketers face is fragmented customer data. This was the case for a leading financial institution struggling with siloed information. Combining the capabilities of both Oracle Unity CDP and Eloqua, they unified their customer data, allowing for advanced segmentation. This integration enabled them to create precise segments and apply AI-driven insights to determine the next best actions.

The results were impressive: a 24x faster performance in building segments and a 4x increase in generating next best actions, leading to more personalized and effective marketing campaigns.

2. 360-Degree Customer View

Understanding your customer’s journey across various touchpoints is crucial. To understand this further, let’s look at another real-world example. A major telecommunications company solved its fragmented data issue by integrating 23 data sources into Oracle Unity. This holistic view enabled them to run evergreen campaigns and deliver personalized experiences in real time.

Once again, the results speak for themselves. The company saw a 20% lift in performance for new opportunities and reduced segment creation time from weeks to the same day.

3. Improved Lead Scoring & Nurturing
