Content marketing platforms come in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet the ever-changing needs of organizations and their increasingly complex environments. Enterprises require solutions that can serve a number of different use cases and address needs like compensation plan optimization and next-best-action recommendations for sales reps. There are both small and large providers that offer software to help these companies with both niche and common challenges, though choosing the vendor(s) that are right for your specific environment can be a daunting task.
