Marketing Automation Space Expands with Eloqua IPO
Mike Couch, Chief Executive Officer of Couch & Associates Inc., in response to Eloqua going public
TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2012 /CNW/ - Today, Eloqua, Inc., a leading provider of on-demand Revenue Performance Management solutions, announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 8,000,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $11.50 per share.
"It is becoming evident that markets are valuing companies based on more modern drivers above and beyond traditional notions like market cap and revenue. This is noticeable in subscription and cloud-based software companies such as Responsys, Jive Software and Brightcove who have also gone public, with annual revenue in the range of $50-$100M.
This same movement has led towards a more buyer-centric view - the concept of Revenue Performance Management (RPM), made famous by companies like Eloqua for optimizing top line growth and driving organizations to be successful.
The marketing automation space is a viable and important market. Eloqua helps uncover marketing drivers which create revenue. They provide marketing professionals with the power to maximize demand for their company and be fundamentally 'worth' more to a market."
