The nearly 300 items provide a comprehensive database of marketing software information dating back to 1993. They include pieces originally written for DM News, DM Review, Relationship Marketing Report, Curtis MarketWise FIRST, and other industry publications. In addition, a unified search feature allows simultaneous search of the archive and Raab Associates blogs, http://customerexperiencematrix.blogspot.com/ and http://mpm toolkit.blogspot.com/, which provide additional information on marketing technology.

Visitors are free to post comments on the articles, allowing community members to supplement or update the information based on their own experiences. Raab will add new articles to the archive as they are published.

“These articles provide a rich history of the development of marketing systems over the past fifteen years,” said Raab. “They include in-depth assessments of current market leaders and difficult-to-find information on pioneering products that are no longer being sold.”

The archive is accessible through the Raab Associates Inc. Web site at www.raabassociatesinc.com.
