The online marketing suite is a long-term initiative

– There are many permutations of the online marketing suite.
– Everyone has their own perspective.
The road map documents:
– The starting point: current capabilities and investments.
– The first phase: initial implementation.
– Subsequent phases: prioritized enhancements over time.
