campaign. You can capture responses using
Microsoft Outlook Integration, which allows
e-mails to be assigned to specific campaigns

synchronized with the SAP Business ByDesign
solution. In addition, the pipeline simulation
feature provides an interactive combination of
graphic and table list of the opportunities. What

The Creating Target Group business process
enables you to create a target group based on the
queries of the customers and prospects in your
database. The search results can then be added to
your new target group. In addition, you can also
manually add accounts and contacts that do not
match the search parameters, but that also need
to be included in the target group. Before
assigning your target group to a campaign, you
can check whether all members in the target group
can be contacted using one particular channel of

To execute a campaign, the marketing employee
carries out a Microsoft Excel export of all
target group members who are addressable
according to the selected campaign type. A target
group member is addressable if the required
communication data is maintained, the target
group member is allowed to be contacted, and the
status is Active. The Excel template contains all
addressable target group members and their
address data as well as a personalized response
code per member. The personalized response code
is generated by the system and is a unique
identifier that helps to easily create campaign
responses later. After campaign execution, the
status of the campaign changes automatically to
Active. The execution details of the campaign
show which target group members could be
contacted and which ones could not, and why they
could not be contacted. Contacted in this case
means which target group members could be
exported to Excel and are now available to be
contacted.

has several options. For example, he can either
distribute the Excel template to an external
marketing agency or call center who then contacts
the target group members. Or he can contact them
by himself by using the Excel template as an
input source, for example for Microsoft mail
merge or other mailing systems, to create mass
