Alterian Announces Global Partnership with Return Path

Releases Dynamic Messenger 5.0 with advanced reporting, campaign management and usability functions
CHICAGO, Ill. - Aug. 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Alterian (LSE: ALN), the leading global enterprise marketing platform provider, announced today a strategic partnership with global email deliverability specialist Return Path. Through the partnership, Alterian will integrate Return Path's Sender Score email deliverability and monitoring technology with its own email marketing application Dynamic Messenger, giving users a comprehensive solution for ensuring deliverability success worldwide.
 Alterian also announced the latest version of its Web 2.0 email and online marketing application - Dynamic Messenger 5.0 - designed with enhanced reporting and campaign management functionality and a new user interface.
Marketers using Alterian's Dynamic Messenger email solution will be able to monitor email deliverability across the globe, taking advantage of the leading email deliverability solution for the international market. Return Path's local involvement and relationships with the ISP community overcome problems marketers have in dealing with varying geographies and languages, solving any delivery challenges associated with marketers expanding across borders. Via Return Path's US-based account team, Alterian will also have access to its ISP mediation services as part of the agreement.
"Being able to deliver comprehensive email deliverability monitoring and ISP relations support worldwide will be of major benefit to our partners and strengthens our existing capability to execute cross-border campaigns. Most of our competitors have in-house ISP relations which are not as advanced or as widespread as Return Path's. This agreement is a real differentiator for us," commented David Eldridge, CEO, Alterian.
Solid ISP relations and deliverability best practice are essential for marketers, due to the complex and constantly changing criteria employed by ISPs and other reputation monitors used to regulate email delivery. Return Path's Sender Score allows users to proactively identify and resolve potential issues before campaigns are deployed and in cases where a problem arises in a live campaign, properly investigate and resolve the issue as quickly as possible before any impact. Sender Score also has the widest and deepest global ISP and filter coverage of any deliverability solution in the industry, telling senders why their email is most likely being blocked by providing reputation flags and diagnostic advice.
"Return Path is delighted to be adding value to the Alterian email proposition and we are thrilled to see email service providers around the world taking deliverability issues seriously," explained Ken Takahashi, Vice President, Corporate and International Development, Return Path. "As Alterian's partner network continues to grow internationally, being able to understand and react to regional variations which affect email marketing success is vital."
Dynamic Messenger 5.0
Alterian's email and online marketing application combines traditional database marketing operations such as data modelling, segmentation, selection and analysis with online marketing execution in a single application and workflow. The latest version offers a variety of user-focused advances:
* Reporting
Automated campaign reports can be scheduled and distributed via email, while new event notification options highlight when various actions have occurred, such as emails opened or landing page and rich media views.
* Campaign Management
SmartLists allows users to save list queries for future use which can be extremely valuable as data changes leading up to a campaign deployment. Users can now also select multiple suppression lists simultaneously.
* Improved User Interface
The user interface has new navigation icons, logos, buttons, graphics and streamlined workflows, making operation even easier and faster.
