    &lt;a href="http://www.silverpop.com/"&gt;Silverpop&lt;/a&gt; CEO Bill Nussey cited a JupiterResearch study which Silverpop commissioned last year - it found that a third of email marketers have problems due to a lack of actionable customer data, while a similar amount have difficulty in analysing customer responses. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Nussey believes the acquisition of Vtrenz will help solve these problems: &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;"The Vtrenz acquisition brings a tremendous level of experience and technical insight that will further accelerate the availability of cutting edge features into Silverpop&#8217;s email marketing product line."&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;em&gt;"Silverpop&#8217;s worldwide sales organisation will provide Vtrenz the largest and broadest sales force in the demand management industry."&lt;/em&gt;
    &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. &lt;/p&gt;
