Microsoft<\/a> and Adobe<\/a> have been building a relationship for some time, and today at Adobe Summit<\/a> in Las Vegas the two companies announced a deeper integration between the two platforms.<\/p>\n

It involves sharing Marketo<\/a> data, the company that Adobe acquired last September<\/a> for $4.75 billion. Because it\u2019s marketers, they were duty-bound to give it a new name. This data-sharing approach is being dubbed Account Based Experience, or ABX for short. The two companies are sharing data account data between a number of sources, including Marketo Engage in Adobe Experience Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales, as well as the LinkedIn, the business social platform Microsoft <\/a> bought in 2016 for a whopping $26.2 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft has been trying to find ways to put that LinkedIn <\/a> data to work, and tools like Marketo can use the data in LinkedIn to understand their account contacts better. Steve Lucas, former CEO at Marketo, who is now senior vice president and head of the Marketo team at Adobe, says accounts tend to be much more complex sales than selling to individuals, involving multiple decision makers. It\u2019s a sales cycle that can stretch on for months, and having access to additional data about the account contacts can have a big impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these new account-based capabilities, marketing and sales teams will have increased alignment around the people and accounts they are engaging, and new ways to measure that business impact,\u201d Lucas explained in a statement.<\/p>\n

Brent Leary, principal at CRM Essentials, who has been working in CRM, customer service and marketing for years, sees this as a useful partnership for customers from both vendors. \u201cIntegrating Microsoft Dynamics and LinkedIn more closely with Marketo gives Adobe\u2019s Experience Cloud some great data to leverage in order to have a more complete picture of B2B customers,\u201d Leary told TechCrunch.<\/p>\n

The goal is to close complex sales, and having access to more complete data across the two product sets can help achieve that.<\/p>\n
