ATLANTA & GREENVILLE, SC – Feb. 20, 2014 – Omnience Inc., the global leader in integrated event management technologies, and Stark RFID, an integrator of enterprise-level RFID solutions, today announce a long-term strategic and exclusive go-to-market relationship that will enable development of proprietary systems to more seamlessly track and measure the ROI of portfolios of large-scale marketing events, while creating efficiencies for corporate partners.
The new partnership will allow the companies to better serve its mutual customers by integrating real-time event attendee RFID tracking data into Omnience’s proprietary tools that report on engagement. Together the technologies deliver big data in a meaningful way to large, Fortune 100 corporations which desire holistic visibility into the activities of event participants. Essentially, Stark RFID’s customized software and hardware plus Omnience’s technology closes the loop in measurement.
"Partnering with Stark RFID allows us to jointly develop the next generation of full-scale event management and analytic tools for our customers," says Casey Cote, president of Omnience. "By leveraging Stark RFID’s ability to provide interactive experience and collect feedback from audiences with Omnience’s core event management and opportunity measurement, we will provide our clients a unique view into their customers’ behavior and buying patterns. The wealth of engagement information generated at person-to-person events – social, sentiment, experience – allows us to measure attendee’s levels of interest, their opinions of the solution and predict their likelihood to buy."
"Omnience has an impressive 30-year history operating large-scale events and sophisticated corporate clients, so this partnership is a perfect marriage," says Lance Burnett, president of Stark RFID. "By working together, the companies can create even richer and more customized tools to deliver data, exposing cost-effective ways to improve customer satisfaction and increase ROI. Stark RFID has grown an impressive client list very quickly in the event and venue management area. Building on our long-term experience and knowledge in the RFID industry, we have created unique solutions and provided valuable insights to venue and event managers like the Atlanta Braves, Georgia Aquarium, Stadiums and highly recognized sporting events. By working with Omnience, we will bring this value to some of the most sophisticated corporate events, and we are excited."
"With budgets continually being scrutinized, CMOs need to demonstrate the business value of their meetings and events," Cote continued. "Omnience will leverage Stark RFID’s data and experience information with our analytics to provide executive intelligence and lead scoring to optimize the sales process."
