The solution enables SMEs to leverage and activate their own data across the entire customer relationship lifecycle, automating and orchestrating omnichannel communication campaigns. Thanks to the market-analysis capabilities built into the platform, businesses will be able to access competitive insights and real-time sector trends, turning data into a concrete strategic advantage. Audiencerate is a global partner of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program and integrates Azure AI capabilities into its own data management and activation infrastructure, making tools that were previously reserved for large enterprises accessible to SMEs as well.
The platform, already available with a complete suite for customer segmentation, market intelligence, and connectors for Postel's Physical and Digital communication channels, will be further enriched in the coming weeks with a marketing automation module and the introduction of additional communication channels. The solution will also continue to evolve over time thanks to Microsoft's AI innovations, natively available within the platform, and to Audiencerate's global partnerships in the AdTech and MarTech ecosystems, delivering Italian SMEs a continuous competitive advantage.
As Gianluca Leotta, President of Audiencerate, stated: "With this partnership we place data at the heart of the growth strategy of Italian SMEs, offering them AI and digital marketing tools that until today were the exclusive preserve of the major players."
Annamaria Bottero, Global Partner Solutions Lead at Microsoft Italy, added: "The Cloud makes innovation more accessible, and Artificial Intelligence can enable even smaller organizations to manage their processes more intelligently, regaining competitiveness."
