Marketing Resource Management (MRM) – The MRM accelerator is built on the Force.com platform, and is designed to assist marketers through the creative and financial approval processes associated with marketing campaigns.  The MRM accelerator has already been deployed to several clients, with the following benefits:

1. Efficiency gains– single standardized creative and financial workflow approvals remove ad-hoc processes and lack of documentation
2. Reduction of non-value added activities – marketers no longer need to manually aggregate data for reporting purposes, allowing them to focus on specific data points required to drive effective campaigns
