Oracle Helps Marketers Make Every Customer Feel Special

To help marketers create irresistible connected customer experiences, Oracle today unveiled new data-driven features for Oracle Marketing Cloud. The innovations leverage rich behavioral insights from across channels to ensure every customer has a truly personalized experience.

“Our daily lives now consist of hundreds of micro-moments that are constantly reshaping our expectations, and this is forcing marketers to rethink traditional approaches to audience segmentation, targeting, and customer journey planning,” said Shashi Seth, senior vice president, Oracle Marketing Cloud. “The latest innovations within the Oracle Marketing Cloud address this challenge by helping marketers take advantage of real-time, contextual customer data to deliver a seamless and hyper-personalized experience every time they interact with customers.”



Oracle Marketing Cloud enables marketers to build deeper, more profitable customer relationships by eliminating data silos and providing real-time insights into rich behavioral data. The latest innovations take that one step further by providing deep integrations and new capabilities that infuse data into all core marketing processes and save marketers time. This includes updates to Oracle Eloqua, Oracle Responsys, Oracle Infinity, and Oracle Maxymiser.

Oracle Eloqua updates enable B2B marketers to:

  • Unify Data and Experiences Across Channels: By embedding behavioral analytics and orchestration capabilities of Oracle Infinity into Oracle Eloqua, marketers can use a common behavioral data lake to enhance segmentation, personalization, and orchestration.

  • Adopt Marketing Best Practices: New AI and machine learning capabilities within Oracle Eloqua help guide and assist marketers in the adoption of best practices and the creation of more compelling content and customer experiences.


Oracle Responsys updates enable B2C marketers to:

  • Enhance Segmentation and Targeting: A new Recency, Frequency, and Monetary (RFM) dashboard helps marketers take advantage of statistical models to standardize segmentation, more accurately score engagement, and identify their most valuable customers.
  • Connect Experience Across Channels: A new integration between Oracle Responsys and Oracle Maxymiser helps marketers optimize the conversion funnel and allow for a smoother customer journey by delivering a consistent experience across email and web.
  • Easily Extend Marketing Capabilities: The Responsys Application Development Framework enables marketers to quickly and easily extend existing capabilities by supporting third-party apps created by software vendors, integration partners, or clients.


Oracle Infinity and Oracle Maxymiser updates enable marketers to:

  • Target in Real-Time: A new Oracle Infinity Action Center helps marketers leverage behavioral data from across touchpoints to create sophisticated, highly tailored segments and engage users with real-time, hyper-personalized communications.
  • Optimize Site Experience: A new integration between Oracle Infinity and Oracle Maxymiser allows marketers to visualize user behavioral activity via heat and zone maps to optimize the website experience for customers and break down silos between personalization, website optimization and digital analytics capabilities.
  • Deliver More Personalized Recommendations: A new Recommender engine helps marketers increase customer engagement by leveraging behavioral data to enable 1:1 targeting at scale and in context. It also enables personalized product, content, and other recommendations to be embedded in site pages.

Take the SQL Exam That Gives You OCA Certification:



We receive support requests every week from candidates asking for the certificate for passing the non-proctored exam Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals | 1Z0-061. Each time, we explain that this exam alone does not result in certification. Candidates must pass the next exam in their Oracle Certified Associate (OCA) path to earn a certification and receive a digital badge. This unpleasant surprise results in disappointed candidates who want to receive something tangible for passing a certification exam. 

Don't face this same disappointment.


With the imminent retirement of Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals | 1Z0-061 (November 30, 2019), now is the perfect time to switch your focus to the exam that proves fluency in and a solid understanding of SQL language, data modeling and using SQL to create and manipulate tables in an Oracle Database, AND results in a SQL OCA certification.

Passing the exam Oracle Database SQL | 1Z0-071 earns you the Oracle Database SQL Certified Associate credential and also fulfills the SQL requirement in the Oracle Database Administrator and Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate paths.

The SQL Requirement


SQL knowledge is essential to the Database Administrator and PL/SQL Developer roles. Upon its release, exam 1Z0-071 filled a gap in the offerings that fulfill the SQL prerequisite in these paths. This offering has gone on to become the standard. The Oracle Database SQL Certified Associate credential gives a broader, more comprehensive view of SQL, and results in OCA certification. This certification also better fits the defined job role.
