The present invention relates to the use of light-emitting diodes for area illumination, and specifically to broadband illumination using colored light emitters.
Solid-state lighting devices made of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are increasingly useful for applications requiring robustness and long life. For example, solid-state LEDs are found today in automotive applications. These devices are typically formed by combining multiple, small LED devices providing a point light source into a single module together with glass lenses or reflectors suitably designed to direct the light as is desired for a particular application; see for example, WO99/57945, published Nov. 11, 1999. These multiple devices are expensive and complex to manufacture and integrate into single illumination devices. Moreover, point sources of light such as LEDs or incandescent lamps tend to require additional light diffusers, e.g. lampshades, to avoid glare.
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are manufactured by depositing organic semiconductor materials between electrodes on a substrate. This process enables the creation of area-emitting light sources having an extended light-emitting surface area on a single substrate, thereby reducing glare and improving the efficiency of illumination. The prior art describes the use of one or more OLEDs in lighting, for example U.S. Pat. No. 6,565,231, entitled "OLED Area Illumination Lighting Apparatus" filed by Cok on May 28, 2002. In particular, the use of specially constructed layers within an OLED device to form optical cavities that can enhance the amount of light output from an OLED device is known. For example, U.S. Application Publication No. 2004/0155576 filed Feb. 4, 2004, entitled "Microcavity OLED Devices" describes such an OLED device. Other means, such as diffraction gratings can be employed to similar effect. Because these layers in these devices provide an optical filtering effect, the layers are carefully selected to minimize frequency dependence on the angle of emission for the emitted light. Alternatively, scattering or diffusing elements are employed to maintain a consistent color of light emitted over the surface of the OLED device and at any viewed angle.
A skilled artisan appreciates that these techniques involve filtering, reflecting or otherwise processing light generated by the OLED device and that with each such processing step, a portion of the light generated by the OLED device can be subject to optical losses, thus the overall efficiency of such an illumination system as measured in terms of lumens per watt of supplied energy may decrease. Furthermore, the efficiency of an area-illumination system can be a critical feature in the selection of one form of area illumination as compared against other potential forms of area illumination, particularly, where vast areas such as roadways, athletic stadiums, or other areas are to be illuminated. Moreover, each processing step may incur additional manufacturing costs.
Another factor in the selection of an area-illumination system is the aesthetic appeal or lack thereof of the selected area-illumination system itself. Colored lights are sometimes employed as decoration or specialty lighting, for example, as holiday lighting. Colored illumination is typically provided using filters over white-light lamps. See for example, US 2004/0090787 entitled "Methods and Systems for Illuminating Environments" published May 13, 2004; US 2004/0052076 entitled "Controlled Lighting Methods and Apparatus" published Mar. 18, 2004; and US 2004/0105264 "Multiple Light-Source Illuminating System", published Jun. 3, 2004. However, it can be appreciated that here too, the filters absorb light, reduce the efficiency of the illumination system, and cause the area illuminated thereby to take on the colors of the filtered light.
A solid-state area illumination system has been described by Cok in US 2007/0126004A1 "Lamp with Multi-Colored OLED Elements", published Jun. 7, 2007, comprising a plurality of OLED devices, each device formed on a separate substrate and each device emitting light at a plurality of angles relative to the substrate, the emitted light having different ranges of frequencies at different ranges of the plurality of angles; and a support positioning each of the plurality of OLED devices at a plurality of orientations relative to an area of illumination, the positioning being defined so that any point on any surface within the area of illumination receives a broadband combination of light from more than one of the OLED devices. In this system, light filtering and processing steps are eliminated, so that efficient use of light is maintained. Further, the angular variation of emission color associated with thin-film electroluminescent devices is used to facilitate color mixing, so that each point on a surface is illuminated diffusely by a combination of colors, each color having emanated from a different OLED device at a different illumination angle, resulting in white light at the surface point. The OLED solid-state area-illumination system of US 2007/0126004A1 does not clearly distinguish colors at different angles of emission from the substrate, because of the broadband emission therein. This may lead to reduced aesthetic value in that a perceptively reduced range and saturation of colors is produced when viewing the OLED devices. Therefore, the colors are reduced in variation and are not easily distinguished from one another. Moreover, the OLED solid-state area illumination system of US 2007/0126004A1 may have shorter lifetimes than conventional illumination, lower efficiencies, and require expensive encapsulation for device operation. Therefore, an alternative technology having improved performance is still desired.
The present invention provides an improved technology over OLED solid-state area illumination systems, with an inorganic solid-state area illumination system that includes multiple LED devices, each LED device is formed on a separate substrate and each LED device emits differently colored light at different angles relative to the substrate. The peak frequencies of each color of light differ by at least the smallest of the full width half maximums of the frequency distributions of emitted light. Also included is a support for positioning each of the LED devices at multiple orientations relative to an area of illumination upon a surface, so that any point within the area of illumination will receive multiple colors of light from more than one of the LED devices at different angles. Each LED device includes one or more light-emitting elements, each light-emitting element having multiple sizes of core/shell quantum dot emitters formed in a common polycrystalline semiconductor matrix.
Another aspect of the present invention provides a method of forming a solid-state area illumination system, including the following steps of:
a) forming multiple sizes of core/shell quantum dot emitters in a common polycrystalline semiconductor matrix, each different size of quantum dot emitter having a peak emission frequency and emission bandwidth;
b) forming a plurality of light-emitting elements, each light-emitting element including a succession of layers comprising an optical microcavity, each optical microcavity including an emissive layer containing the a population of quantum dot emitters of one or more sizes, wherein an emission bandwidth of each population of quantum dot emitters in each light-emitting element is tuned to a frequency response of the optical microcavity of that light-emitting element;
c) forming a plurality of LED devices, each LED device comprising one or more light-emitting elements, each device on a separate substrate and each device emitting light at a plurality of angles relative to the substrate, the emitted light have different colored light at different angles; and
d) providing a support positioning each of the plurality of LED devices at a plurality of orientations relative to an area of illumination, said positioning being defined so that any point on any surface within the area of illumination will receive multiple colors of light from more than one of the LED devices.
In recent years, light-emitting diode (LED) devices have included quantum-dot light-emitting layers to provide large-area light emission. One of the predominant attributes of this technology is the ability to control the wavelength of emission, simply by controlling the size of the quantum dot. This fact has been discussed in a paper by Bulovic and Bawendi, entitled "Quantum Dot Light Emitting Devices for Pixelated Full Color Displays" and published in the proceedings of the 2006 Society for Information Display Conference. As discussed in this paper, the ability to tune light emission provides opportunities for creating narrow-band and, therefore, highly-saturated colors of light emission. Alternatively, broader-band emitters or combinations of emitters can be made to create less saturated colors, or white light. Control of the dominant wavelength and spectral bandwidth allows the designer flexibility in solving a variety of illumination problems.
Additionally, crystalline-based inorganic LEDs have the advantages of high brightness, long lifetimes, good environmental stability, and good external quantum efficiencies. However, inorganic LEDs have not been widely available in a wide planar format. The inventors have deemed it beneficial, therefore, to develop an improved solid-state area illumination system that would take advantage of the desirable attributes of crystalline-based inorganic LEDs in a flat-panel format. Recently, a light-emitting layer composed of quantum dots that are simultaneously luminescent and conductive was presented by Kahen in co-pending application US 2007/0057263 A1. Also presented was an all-inorganic LED device incorporating such a layer. The electron- and hole-transport layers of the device are also composed of conductive nanoparticles. For this LED device, all device layers are deposited by low-cost processes such as drop casting or inkjetting. The resulting inorganic LED device offers low cost and enhanced brightness as compared to OLEDs, along with tuning over a wide range of wavelengths, accomplished with known techniques pertaining to quantum dots. The quantum-dot LED provides the opportunity to construct planar emitting devices that have the advantages of inorganic semiconductor technology mentioned above and, when skillfully applied, can improve the solid-state area illumination system previously described.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a solid-state area-illumination system 10 as shown in
Furthermore, according to the present invention, each LED device 12 is formed on a separate substrate 22, and comprises one or more light-emitting elements 30, such as the one shown in
Two or more of the LED devices 12 may have substrates located in different planes, as shown in
Referring to
Although not shown in
The inorganic light-emitting layer 32 will preferably comprise a plurality of light-emitting cores 50, each core having a semiconductor material that emits light in response to a recombination of holes and electrons, each such light-emitting core defining a first bandgap; a plurality of semiconductor shells 52 formed respectively about the light-emitting cores 50 to form core/shell quantum dots 38, each such semiconductor shell 52 having a second bandgap wider than the first bandgap; and a semiconductor matrix connected to the semiconductor shells 52 to provide a conductive path through the semiconductor matrix and to each such semiconductor shell, and its corresponding light-emitting core 50, so as to permit the recombination of holes and electrons.
Every LED device built in a thin-film stack configuration such as
To maximize the output of LED devices, it is necessary to match the emission spectrum of the active material to the response of the optical cavity in which it is placed, or conversely to "tune" the cavity to match the emission spectrum. In the case of quantum dots, differently-sized quantum dots may be formed and each differently-sized quantum dot will emit light at a different peak wavelength, even while using differently-sized dots made of the same semiconductor material. Therefore the dominant or peak wavelength is said to be substantially continuously variable. This is in contrast to the choice of peak wavelength in traditional LED devices, which require choosing different semiconductor materials to change the emitting wavelengths. As described in the paper by Bulovic and Bawendi and elsewhere, there is a potential for quantum dot LED (QD-LED) materials to become available that will enable the placement of emitters with peak wavelength at selectable points across the visible spectrum and spectral bandwidths (as measured by the full width at half maximum, or FWHM) on the order of 30 nm, simply by changing the size of the quantum dots. For example,
By employing multiple sizes of core/shell quantum dot emitters formed in a common polycrystalline semiconductor matrix, each different size of quantum dot emitter in each light-emitting element will have a center emission frequency and emission bandwidth. That is, the different sizes of core/shell quantum dot emitters will emit light of different colors. Within an optical cavity, one of the colors of light may be constructively reinforced at an angle normal to the substrate. Other colors of light may be constructively reinforced at other angles, as described above. Hence, the LED device will emit light of different colors at different angles from a common layer of different emitters. When a plurality of such LED devices are employed having substrates oriented at different angles, an illuminated area may be illuminated with different colors of light forming an overall white illumination while the emitters themselves are colored. Such a solid-state system provides aesthetically pleasing and useful area illumination.
In various embodiments, the optical microcavity may include two electrodes, one reflective, one semi-reflective; wherein they are separated by an inorganic semiconductor material having an index of refraction. The reflective and semi-reflective electrodes can form an effective microcavity. Moreover, the optical microcavity may be tuned for a predetermined peak emission frequency and emission bandwidth by the LED device by adjusting the separation of the reflective electrode and the semi-reflective electrode and selecting predetermined values for the indices of refraction of the intervening layers. Furthermore, the predetermined peak emission frequency and emission bandwidth of the LED device may be further accomplished by selecting a predetermined size distribution of quantum dots. Hence, the LED device may emit a single color of light, for example, red, green, blue, yellow or cyan in a direction normal to the surface of the substrate.
In various embodiments of the present invention, the support 24 can be a chandelier, a table lamp, or a floor lamp. The illuminated area 28 can be a floor, wall, ceiling, or item of furniture.
In other embodiments of the present invention, at least one substrate 22 can be a rigid planar substrate or, alternatively, at least one substrate is flexible. At least one LED device 12 may comprise a transparent substrate and transparent cover and light is emitted from both sides of the LED device 12. Alternatively, the LED device 12 can be a top-emitting device or a bottom-emitting device.
In another embodiment of the present invention, a method of forming a solid-state area illumination system is provided (referring to
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Feeling a little worse for wear? The morning after partying with The Saturdays Myleene Klass does the school run in huge hat and over-size sunglasses
On Sunday evening a grinning Myleene Klass caused a photographer to trip over because of her sexy striped pencil skirt - but the morning after it was all about keeping her head down on the school run.
Perhaps after her night of celebration with close friends The Saturdays, who got their first number 1 hit this weekend, the 34-year-old was feeling a little worse for wear and decided to opt for a huge black hat with over-sized sunglasses to hide her tired eyes.
Although her hat and sunglasses may have been erring on the side of modest, Myleene still kept her school-run attire sexy in a pair of leopard print trousers, sky-high heels and a tight leather jacket.
We can see you! Myleene holds her daughter Ava's hand on the school run - perhaps the presenter was feeling a little worse for wear after her night out with The Saturdays
The classically trained musician tweeted that it was her youngest daughter Hero's birthday and perhaps she had a special birthday party planned so was in a rush to get back home and start celebrations.
Just the evening before Myleene cut an arresting figure as she prepared to party up a storm with her pals The Saturdays in celebration of the girl-band bagging their first-ever UK number one single.
Hat's off to her! Myleene looks demure as she heads out after an evening off parting
But it would appear seeing Myleene looking hot in stripes was a little too much to take for one photographer, who fell over at the very sight of her.
The 34-year-old presenter erupted into a fit of giggles as the snapper took a tumble of epic proportions while he was taking a picture of her and a pal leaving London's Amika nightclub on Sunday.
Oops-a-daisy: It would appear the sight of Myleene Klass looking sexy in stripes was a little too much to take for one photographer, who fell over at the very sight of her as she left London's Amika nightclub on Sunday
A little amusement: The 34-year-old presenter erupted into a fit of giggles as the photographer took a tumble of epic proportions
Laughing away at the chap's misfortune, the mother-of-two's female friend turned the tables by snapping away at the pap as he struggled to regain his composure.
Luckily, the photographer seemed to take the turn of events in good spirits, and appeared to be giggling away as he got back up on his feet.
It's little wonder he found it difficult to concentrate on the task in hand, with Myleene commanding attention as she strutted down the street in her sexy ensemble.
Well that's embarrassing! Luckily, the photographer seemed to take the tumble in good spirits, and appeared to be giggling away as he got back up on his feet
Sexy in stripes: It's little wonder the snapper found it difficult to concentrate on the task in hand, with Myleene commanding attention as she strutted down the street in her sexy ensemble
Fit of giggles: Myleene and her friend couldn't stop laughing as they wandered down the street
The classically-trained musician looked positively showstopping as she stepped out for the evening, supporting pals Mollie King, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Humes, Una Healy and Vanessa White as they celebrated bagging their first-ever UK number one single with What About Us.
Myleene showed off her enviable figure in a monochrome striped high-waisted pencil skirt, which she teamed with a simple black vest and a stylish black leather biker jacket.
The star completed her party look with a pair of fierce spike-toe Christian Louboutin stilettos, while wearing her dark brunette locks falling in dramatic tumbling curls around her shoulders.
Oh dear! The photographer's untimely bout of misfortune certainly seemed to amuse a visibly tickled Myleene
Up he goes: It wasn't long before the pap regained his composure and was back up on his feet again
It had been a busy Sunday for Myleene, who had spent the afternoon hosting a birthday party for her adorable daughter Hero, who turned two on Monday.
With the celebrations appearing to have a jungle theme, the brunette beauty threw herself into the spirit of the occasion by wearing leopard face paint and cat ears as she was joined at her home by a plethora of friends and family.
Daring Myleene didn't shy away when she cuddled up to a number of creepy crawlies, posting snaps on her Twitter page of her holding a scary tarantula and a slimy frog.
Snapped! Myleene's gal pal had snapped the whole thing on her mobile phone
Enviable figure: Myleene showed off her envy-inducing curves in a monochrome striped high-waisted pencil skirt, which she teamed with a simple black vest and a stylish black leather biker jacket
Alongside one picture of her puckering up to the frog, Myleene - who split from husband and partner of 12 years, Graham Quinn, in April 2012 - wrote: 'Apparently, I have to kiss a lot of these.'
The television presenter made sure to lavish attention on her youngest daughter on her special day, treating Hero to a beautiful animal-themed birthday cake.
Preparing to hit the town, she later tweeted: 'Clean up finally done. #happybdayhero.'
Monochrome madness: The classically-trained musician teamed her sexy outfit with a pair of fierce spike-toe Christian Louboutin stilettos
Showbiz pals: Myleene was celebrating with her friends The Saturdays, (L-R) Mollie King, Vanessa White, Una Healy, Rochelle Wiseman and Frankie Sandford, after they bagged their first-ever number one single on Sunday night
Although Myleene - who is also a mum to daughter Ava, five - looked positively incredible as she hit the town on Sunday night, she recently admitted she hasn't always been so blessed with her figure, with 'pregnancy and burgers' causing her weight to soar.
She said: 'I've been all shapes and sizes over the past 10 to 12 years, through pregnancy, through burgers, through my own doing.'
On Monday morning, it was back to mummy duties for the in-demand presenter.
Party time! On Sunday afternoon, the star celebrated daughter Ava's second birthday with a jungle-themed birthday party
Pucker up! Myleene seemed to be enjoying a smooch with a gruesome frog at the bash
Scary! Daring Myleene didn't shy away when she cuddled up to a number of creepy crawlies, posting a snap on her Twitter page of her holding a scary tarantula
Happy birthday, Ava: The television presenter made sure to lavish attention on her youngest daughter on her special day, treating Hero to a beautiful animal-themed birthday cake
Evidently not suffering the effects of a sore head, Myleene was spotted out and about in London doing the school run with adorable Ava.
Not letting her style credentials slip for one minute, the singer looked effortlessly chic in her favourite leather jacket, leopard print harem pants and a black vest.
Dressed to impress, Myleene completed her yummy mummy look with an attention-grabbing wide-brimmed hat, oversized sunglasses, a coveted Chanel quilted handbag and towering Christian Louboutin heels.

Marketing Automation 2014 Industry Overview: What the Surveys Tell Us
Customer Experience Matrix
The Interwebs have delivered an unusually rich trove of data about the marketing automation industry in the past few weeks. Taken together, these provide a clearer picture than usual of the state of marketing automation. The reason is selection bias: most surveys are answered by people who are actively engaged in marketing automation.
More New Systems Challenge the Marketing Automation Status Quo
Customer Experience Matrix
Last week's post looked at newer marketing automation systems that focused on small businesses. The general notion is that small businesses are finding existing marketing automation products too hard to use and would be happy with something simpler, especially if it costs less. It will be adding these as it sells more to corporate marketers, who tend to need them.
A Structured Approach to Demand Generation Analytics
One analytics vendor after another is selling you on their ability to analyze and make sense of "any" data. Demand And most marketing and sales data is just that — garbage. So what is the key to better demand generation analytics? Successful demand generation analytics must bridge the two. Blog alignment Analytics big data Demand GenerationGarbage in; garbage out.
LeadLiaison Helps Marketing Automation Users Break the Content Bottleneck
Customer Experience Matrix
You may have noticed that there are many B2B marketing automation systems available. But they do go far enough beyond standard marketing automation to justify a different label. In particular, LeadLiaison helps marketers create content, a critical bottleneck that is not addressed by most marketing automation systems.
How RightWave Solves the Marketing Automation Skill Shortage
Customer Experience Matrix
One of the main reasons that marketing automation has not been adopted more quickly is that too few marketers know how to fully use it. Marketing automation vendors have adopted different strategies to deal with their problem, including making their systems easier to use, offering extensive training, and providing services to run the systems for their clients.
Teradata Integrates Its Marketing Automation Acquisitions for Enterprise Marketers
Customer Experience Matrix
Last year's biggest marketing automation acquisitions were products for consumer marketing: ExactTarget by Salesforce.com , Neolane by Adobe , and Responsys by Oracle. Consumer marketers have had their own, highly sophisticated marketing automation systems for years. But it would be wrong to see these as expanding the industry to a new set of users.
Marketing Automation News from Dreamforce: B2B More Integrated, B2C Stays Separate
Customer Experience Matrix
I spent the early part of this week at Salesforce.com 's annual Dreamforce conference. The bad news was for B2B marketing automation. Conference presentations confirmed that Pardot, the B2B marketing automation system that Salesforce acquired as part of its ExactTarget acquisition, has been separated from the rest of ExactTarget and made part of the Sales cloud. There, Pardot is described only as providing lead scoring and nurture programs, which is a subset of what B2B marketing automation usually offers. Here are my observations.
Microsoft Buys Marketing Automation Vendor MarketingPilot: Start of Something Big?
Customer Experience Matrix
Microsoft today announced the acquisition of marketing management system vendor MarketingPilot , which will become part of its Dynamics CRM group. MarketingPilot is best described as integrated marketing management for mid-tier companies. still doubt Salesforce.com will get the message any time soon, but maybe they'll start to reconsider. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Marketo's Take on Salesforce.com's ExactTarget Acquisition
Modern B2B Marketing
Author: Phil Fernandez Today, Salesforce.com announced plans to buy ExactTarget. Many of our customers, prospective customers and business partners may be wondering what this move means for Marketo, since we are a leader in the marketing software space and so many salesforce.com customers also choose Marketo as their marketing automation platform.
How Should I Structure My Marketing Automation Team?

In fact, football teams are a lot like marketing automation teams – you need talented players, of course, but you also need dedicated roles, internal coordination, and sound strategy. The Basic Structure of a Marketing Automation Team. Cloning programs and templates allow small teams to accomplish marketing automation on par with much larger companies.

Dreamforce 2011: Salesforce.com Will Leave Marketing Automation Alone. But Revenue Performance Management Might Be Another Story.
Customer Experience Matrix
I spent most of this week at Salesforce.com 's Dreamforce conference. But I did notice about two years ago that pretty much everyone in the B2B marketing automation space was more or less assuming I'd attend. If the big question on the mind of the marketing automation industry has been whether Salesforce would launch its own product, the show provided what I consider to be a definitive answer: No (at least for now; never say never). All of which brings us back to B2B marketing automation. Peer pressure worked, and there I was. As a $2.1
The Pond Just Got More Crowded: Google, Salesforce.com and Sequoia Invest in HubSpot
Customer Experience Matrix
Summary: HubSpot announced a $32 million investment yesterday by Sequoia Partners, Google and Salesforce.com. This could be a real game-changer in the small business marketing automation landscape. Salesforce.com and Google announced their long-anticipated entry into the marketing automation industry, in the baby-step form of investments in HubSpot.
Adobe Buys B2C Marketing Automation Leader Neolane: One Gap Filled, But Where's CRM?
Customer Experience Matrix
Adobe today announced plans to acquire Neolane , the largest remaining independent B2C marketing automation vendor (excluding email-focused providers like Responsys and Silverpop ). It reinforces suspicions that Adobe was the mystery bidder for ExactTarget mentioned last month by Salesforce.com. That frankly didn't take much insight, but I'll brag a bit more about having pegged Adobe as needing to add marketing automation as far back as this post in 2009 and again in 2010. Predictable or not, this deal does fill a gaping hole in Adobe's marketing cloud.
B2B and B2C Marketing Automation: Understanding the Differences
Customer Experience Matrix
As you might have guessed from my recent list of B2C marketing automation systems , I've recently been spending some time helping consumer marketers to select vendors. This is more a return than a departure: although I've written mostly about B2B systems for the past few years, my earlier work was largely in consumer marketing. Here are some observations - consumer marketers have to build databases; B2B marketers don't. This is frustrating for consumer marketers, who see the huge variety, slick features, and attractive pricing of the B2B systems.
Bizo and DemandBase Lead B2B Marketing Automation to Web Advertising and Beyond
Customer Experience Matrix
That could serve as a pretty complete summary of the state of the art for B2B marketing today, especially if you consider "content marketing" as implicitly included. To reach that market, the company had to build its own version of "data management platform" (DMP) systems that manage lists of known entities, recognizes them when they appear on an external Web site, and delivers them an appropriate advertisement. This is a major extension beyond traditional marketing automation, which works mostly through email to known prospects. Let's start with DemandBase.
Why Are Marketing Automation Managers So Hard to Find?
Even though some vendors have been around for almost 10 years, Marketing Automation is still relatively new. According to Forrester, only 2-5% of B2B firms have invested in full-featured Marketing Automation. Increasingly, B2B companies realize that Marketing Automation software requires skilled operators. But – if you decide to hire a Marketing Automation manager – what should you look for, and where do you find them? The situation with Marketing Automation reminds me most of Web Analytics.
Model Factory from Modern Analytics Offers High Scale Preditive Modeling for Marketers
Customer Experience Matrix
Here's another log for that fire: Model Factory from Modern Analytics , which promises as many models as you want for a flat fee starting at $5,000 per month. The "what" is pretty simple: it builds a large number of models in a fully automated fashion. Modern Analytics has staff to help with that, but it can still be a substantial task. Better still, Modern Analytics has experience connecting to APIs of common data sources such as Salesforce.com , so a new feed from a familiar source usually takes just a few hours to set up. The "how" is more complicated.
Predictive Analytics and Modern Marketing: Q&A with Mintigo's Atul Kumar
It's All About Revenue
Over the past year, Oracle Marketing Cloud has added more than 350 marketing applications and data partners to deliver the industry's largest marketing technology ecosystem. The most recent addition to this list is Mintigo's latest Oracle Marketing AppCloud application that brings predictive lead scoring and data enrichment capabilities directly within Eloqua.
Marketing Automation Beer Goggles: What I Think I Learned at Dreamforce
Customer Experience Matrix
I'm writing this on my way home from Dreamforce, the Salesforce.com user conference that has become the primary industry gathering for marketing automation vendors. generally think of marketing systems as relying primarily on data from the company's own marketing, sales, and operational systems. So what did I learn? The first was data.
Mega-List of Features in Marketing Automation (That You Won't Find in CRM)
Modern B2B Marketing
by Jon Miller A common question I hear from marketers is "I already have a CRM system (e.g. salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM), so why do I need marketing automation "? Many CRM systems have a module for marketing. Given this positioning, it's no wonder that marketers often think they may not need anything else to run their modern marketing departments.
Infor Epiphany Marketing and Interaction Advisor: Good Examples of B2C Marketing Automation
Customer Experience Matrix
Epiphany was one of the high-fliers of an earlier marketing automation boom: launched in 1997 with an initial public offering in 1999, it traded stock for a variety of customer management systems before its price collapsed. Infor has recently renewed its commitment to the Epiphany line, increasing investment in the product and its marketing. So much for Epiphany Marketing.
SalesPredict Offers Highly Automated, Highly Flexible Predictive Modeling
Customer Experience Matrix
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote that "predictive everywhere" is one of major trends in data-driven marketing. meant both that predictive models guide decisions at every stage in many marketing programs, and that models are used throughout the organization by marketing, sales, and service. Results appear as lists in a CRM interface or as scores on a marketing databaset.
Research Report: Lead Gen Not as Easy as Marketers Think
The Point
I just returned from a few days at Dreamforce in San Francisco, the annual circus-slash-conference hosted by CRM leader Salesforce.com, and was struck by the wave of technologies on display that centered on analytics. Yes, marketing technologies – and marketing automation in particular – make it easier than ever for companies to generate campaigns and leads.
LeadForce1 Adds Mind Reading to Marketing Automation
Customer Experience Matrix
It combines this with standard B2B marketing automation features to provide better-qualified leads to sales people. The B2B marketing automation industry has reached the stage where product features are similar and companies compete primarily on business and marketing savvy. The company's product touches the standard marketing automation bases: outbound email, landing pages and forms, lead nurturing, scoring and integration with Salesforce.com. Summary: LeadForce1 infers Web visitors' intent and sales stage from the contents they read.

HubSpot & Salesforce Sign a Partnership Pact Through 2020
I'm thrilled to announce that HubSpot has renewed our ISVForce relationship with Salesforce.com through 2020. Nearly 20% of HubSpot marketing software customers use Salesforce.com's CRM product. There are tens of thousands of Sidekick sales acceleration users who also enjoy Salesforce.com's CRM product. think this type of deal is healthy for the market.
True Influence InsightBASE Simplifies Use of B2B Intent Data
Customer Experience Matrix
Intent data is one of hottest topics in marketing today – see, for example, Oracle's recent purchase of AddThis. The notifications can be loaded as lists into a marketing automation or CRM system, where they can trigger advertising, sales calls, or other actions. They can also be based on use of specific technologies, allowing marketers to target competitors' customers. InsightBASE has standard integrations with Marketo , Oracle Eloqua , and Salesforce.com. b2b marketing intent data lead scoring marketing automation predictive analytics
Dell To Resell Pardot Marketing Automation
Customer Experience Matrix
Dell announced today that it has added Pardot marketing automation to its list of Dell Cloud Business Software applications. Other products in the suite include Salesforce.com for sales automation and customer service, Adobe EchoSign for e-signatures, AppExtremes Conga Composer for proposal creation, Dell's own Boomi for application integration, and a Dell-built analytics platform. The Pardot system costs from $1,000 to $3,000 per month depending on the email volume, file size, and numbers of forms, landing pages, programs, and automation rules.
Constant Contact Adds Social CRM: Should Marketing Automation Vendors Be Worried?
Customer Experience Matrix
This is a major expansion for Constant Contact, placing it more squarely into competition with CRM and marketing automation vendors. As I've noted previously, small businesses are particularly likely to adopt a single platform for all of their marketing and customer management needs because the inefficiencies of multiple platforms are so obvious and painful in a small organization. The company expects more than $200 million in revenue in 2011, which about equals my estimate for 2010 revenues for all B2B marketing automation.
HubSpot's Strategy for Winning the Marketing Automation Horserace
Customer Experience Matrix
Back on September 20, I posted various tips from the Inbound Marketing Summit and HubSpot User Group. This strategy has two main elements, which were set out by CEO Brian Halligan in his keynote: - expansion to "middle of funnel" marketing. HubSpot originally focused on "top of funnel" or "inbound" marketing, which boils down to helping marketers to attract Web traffic. The company is now doing more to help marketers nurture the leads its attracts. Mid funnel" is the territory of standard B2B marketing automation, although HubSpot largely avoids the term.
Four Signs That You May Need Marketing Automation Help
Modern B2B Marketing
That is what we as marketers try to do with marketing automation—make the process of marketing more efficient, long-lasting, and available. Most of us, like Edison, are dabbling in the great unknown with trials and errors when it comes to marketing automation. Are the stages of your revenue cycle mutually defined and accepted by sales and marketing?
Silverpop's Latest Release Targets Sophisticated Marketing Automation Buyers
Customer Experience Matrix
Summary: Silverpop has continued to extend the marketing automation capabilities of its Engage platform. The latest release adds features that are most important to enterprise marketers. More than a year has passed since Silverpop merged its email and marketing automation systems into a single product, Engage 8. The combined product offered advanced email but was missing some capabilities available in the previous marketing automation product. Engage still relies on Salesforce.com to produce revenue reports. Salesforce.com integration.
Customer Data Platforms Revisited: The Future of Marketing Data
Customer Experience Matrix
It's nearly two years since I introduced the concept of a Customer Data Platform , defined as a marketer-controlled system that builds a multi-source customer database and exposes it to external execution systems. Customer Management Functions CDPs exist because marketers need to coordinate customer (and prospect) interactions across channels. better marketing attribution.
Genoo Aims to Shake Up Marketing Automation Market
Marketing automation / demand generation software enables marketers to build microsites and use content marketing to capture leads and nurture them through the buying process. Companies evaluating established providers such as Marketo , Eloqua , Silverpop's B2B Engage and HubSpot would be well-advised to check out a relatively new contender as well— Genoo Marketing Automation. With a boatload of advanced features and an affordable price point, Genoo hopes to earn a spot on the shortlist for any marketing automation / lead gen purchase.
9 Criteria for Selecting a Social Media Monitoring Tool
With almost 200 social monitoring tools (and new entrants still coming to market), available at a range of price levels from free to if-you-have-to-ask-you-can't-afford-it, how does an organization select the right social monitoring tool for its needs? The financial question needs to be directed to your CEO or CFO; the user issue to customer support; the enhancement idea to product management; and the product review to marketing. Salesforce.com ), marketing automation tools and web analytics packages. But how do you choose one? Range of coverage.
Marketo Conference: Small Changes, Big Picture
Customer Experience Matrix
Marketo wrapped up its three day Marketing Nation conference yesterday, having once more displayed its own marketing prowess by attracting national media attention (see here and here ) with an appearance by Hillary Clinton. Real Time Personalization already exists, obviously, and will remain a separate product that can work with any marketing automation system.

by Jason Miller David Taber is a CRM expert and the author of the book, "Salesforce.com Secrets of Success," which covers the people, policy, and process issues surrounding effective CRM solutions. He is the CEO of SalesLogistix , a specialist Salesforce.com implementer focused on improving business processes for Sales and Marketing alignment and effectiveness.
The Rise of the Marketing Technologist Part 3: People, Process, Content and then Technology
All of the usual suspects were in the room – head of marketing, head of sales, marketing automation power users, demand generation leads, content marketer … but also present were the head of their CRM install and the lead project manager of their website and web analytics team — both IT roles in this particular company. Guess what, marketers?
Mintigo InterestBase Harvests Web and Social Data for Marketing and Sales
Customer Experience Matrix
Every marketer recognizes that the Web and social media could be rich sources of information about customers and prospects. Most tools do little more than keyword searches, which only capture a fraction of the potential information and only cover keywords that marketers know in advance are important. But harvesting that data has been frustratingly difficult.
Lytics Adds Marketing Recommendations to a Customer Data Platform
Customer Experience Matrix
million funding, enrolling about 30 beta clients, releasing its initial system and a new self-service option, developing an automated process to recommend marketing programs to its clients, and abandoning the CDP label to call itself a "marketing activation platform". Data and analytics are included in the system; execution is not. So, about that self-service option.
Sales and Marketing: The technology behind CRM
B2B Lead Generation Blog
The first technology that comes to mind is CRM software, such as Salesforce.com or Microsoft Dynamics. However, CRM technology potentially includes multiple pieces including email software and marketing automation (MA) solutions. common example is utilizing marketing automation software on the Marketing side of the funnel from one vendor and integrating that piece with CRM software from another vendor for the Sales side of the funnel, with a common database providing records on each prospect or customer for both pieces of software.
Vocus Purchased by Private Equity Firm GTCR: This Could Be Interesting
Customer Experience Matrix
million in cash, a premium of 48% over their stock market price. It's still a modest multiple of 2.4 x revenue, compared with the 6 to 7 x multiples paid for ExactTarget and Responsys by Salesforce.com and Oracle and the 14 x that Marketo commands in the stock market. I can think of several reasons for the discrepancy: GTCR isn't a big software company looking to fill out an existing marketing suite; Vocus sells mostly to small business, not enterprises; Vocus hasn''t created enough buzz. Salesforce.com synch is bi-directional and works with lead and contact records.

Quiet for a while… back soon – and tips to help you hit a writing deadline
Posted by Roz Morris @Roz_Morris in How to write a book on November 2, 2012
If you've read this week's Undercover Soundtrack you might have seen the note that said the next post would be up in two weeks' time. I'm taking a short break so it'll be quiet here too.
In the meantime, I'd planned to make a post appear magically from the archives to jolly along NaNoWriMos (and anyone who needs tips to meet a writing deadline). It began 'Are you finding NaNo easier than you thought, or harder?' and was supposed to wait until this weekend, but WP gremlins (or butterfingered me) shot it out prematurely. Immediately I got a bemused comment from a subscriber, convinced he'd got his time machine working. Anyway, here's the post, if you haven't already seen it – a NaNo routine to help you finish.

Jason Bay is off to a solid start in the "Bay State." The Trail native went 4-for-11 with one home run and three RBI, while scoring six runs during the Boston Red Sox three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics over the weekend.
Bay has some pretty big shoes to fill in left field, where former fan favorite and future Hall of Famer Manny Ramirez roamed for the past eight seasons.
But the 29-year-old Bay has fit in nicely with the Red Sox (64-48), who are currently leading the American League wild card race by two games over the Chicago White Sox (61-49).
"The first day was kind of a mulligan as far as everything that happened. Getting out there and the last two days have been a lot more routine," Bay said after Boston's 5-2 win on Sunday.
"It's a testament to these guys because I feel like I've been here three weeks, not three days. It's been an easy transition." There was some talk that Bay, who has averaged 28 home runs and 94 RBI over the past four seasons, would succumb to the pressure of playing with a big-market club that is in the middle of a pennant chase.
During his tenure with the Pirates, Bay was never a part of a team that won more than 70 games. Now he is playing with the defending World Series champions.
But the Canadian showed no effects of playing in front of a sellout crowd -- although he will have to eventually prove himself in a more clutch situation in bigger games.
"One of the things we talked about [on Friday] was not looking back or forward and just attacking what's at hand," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said Sunday. "We did that very well." Bay received a standing ovation before his first plate appearance on Friday, and the cheers continued throughout the weekend as the left fielder made an immediate impact.
Batting fifth or sixth during the first three games, Bay homered in his first at-bat Saturday, which amused his teammates, who are used to their left fielder standing in admiration at his work.
"Some guys had a couple of laughs, because I was running down the line pretty hard and that ball went out by a pretty good margin," Bay said. "I'm not used to the park yet, but hopefully it will come to me." While Bay may not be able to match the production of Ramirez, the hustle and enthusiasm he's brought out from his teammates in the past three days is just what the Red Sox were looking for.
Blue Jays 6, A's 1
TORONTO -- Sean Gallagher made more mistakes in one inning than Roy Halladay did all game.
Halladay tossed eight sterling innings and was supported by a four-run third -- where Gallagher's erratic woes doomed him -- as the Toronto Blue Jays recorded a triumph over the Oakland Athletics in the opener of a three-game series.
Halladay (13-8) allowed four hits and one run -- a solo homer by Bobby Crosby in the eighth -- while striking out eight and walking one.
The former Cy Young Award-winner got all the help he would need as Gallagher (4-5) hit a batter with the bases loaded in consecutive innings and allowed Rod Barajas to score off a wild pitch in the third.
Matt Stairs extended the Blue Jays' lead to 4-0 with an RBI single in the third and Brad Wilkerson capped the rally by lifting a sacrifice fly.
Halladay improved to 100-7 in his career when receiving four or more runs of support and tied Houston Astros ace Roy Oswalt for the most wins since 2002 with 106.
He shut down the Athletics for the second time this season, as he tossed eight impressive frames and surrendered one run en route to a 2-1 victory on May 28.
Gallagher, who gave up five runs, four hits and four walks in the shoddy effort on Monday, was lifted for reliever Dan Meyer in the fourth. Meyer, who was acquired in the 2004 trade that sent Tim Hudson to the Atlanta Braves, recorded four shutout innings while striking out three.
Royals 14, White Sox 3
CHICAGO -- The Kansas City Royals eased to a 14-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday, the loss dropping the visitors out of first place in the American League Central for the first time since May 16. The game was marred by a bench-clearing brawl in the fifth inning and a total of five ejections, with the Chicago defeat allowing the Minnesota Twins (62-49) to leapfrog them in the division after their 6-2 home win over Cleveland.
Braves Icon Passes Away
Skip Caray, an Atlanta Braves broadcaster for the past 33 years, has died at the age of 68.
Caray died Saturday in his sleep at his Atlanta home. A cause of death wasn't disclosed.
"Our baseball community has lost a legend," Braves President John Schuerholz said in a news release. "The Braves family and Braves fans everywhere will sadly miss him."

The Bluff Coastguard serves screamingly dangerous seas in a boat that can safely be used only in moderate conditions.
OPINION: Which is crazy.
You'll be shocked to learn that vessels are more likely to get into trouble when things cut up rough, which around here can happen with giddying speed.
So, then, what are we going to ask the guys back on shore to do?
Fold their arms until things fine up a bit?
Or, instead of abandoning the endangered, abandon instead any thoughts of their own safety (very noble) and the wellbeing of their wives, husbands, kids, mothers and fathers (slightly less noble).
Two nauseating options for the coastguard, then.
Sucks to be them.
Except the real decision to be made about this situation now rests with us. Not them.
The coastguard volunteers have done their part, on the water and off, and will continue to do so.
The question is whether the rest of us will content ourselves by wishing them all the very best in their future endeavours or be willing to front up to one of the imperatives of living where we do.
We're surrounded by treacherous water into which we head, for work and recreation, in increasing numbers.
The appeal, announced today, to see home the coastguard's campaign for a rescue vessel worthy of the name is one of the most deserving that The Southland Times has been involved in.
The $568,000 raised to date represents half of what's needed but if you want to bear a number in mind then you'd do better to consider the 33 people that were brought back to safety last year.
The problems with the existing boat go beyond the conditions in which it can work.
Its range is limited and it can't hold all the equipment that might be needed on a rescue.
A recent report of the coastguard missing out on an application for pokies money sat sourly with many readers, though typically the campaign to date has been far more heartening, from the $10,000 donation from the Invercargill Rotary Club, to the constancy of support by the cash-strapped NZAS, approaching its tenth year, or the NZ Lottery Grants Board's $300,000 grant when the coastguard - truth be told - had expected $50,000.
The new rescue boat has been labelled a "dreamboat". Yes and no.
Much as it's the craft of their dreams, there's nothing extravagant, or fanciful, about it. And "sensibly-figured-out-boat" doesn't have the same ring to it.
The replacement will be quicker to the rescue, particularly in worse conditions and more far-flung areas.
It will be safer.
It will be worth it.
An SBS Bank account is open for donations and there's a range of options for people and organisations to make contributions, large and small.
The Southland Times will publish the names of all who step up.
