Our clients will now have the best of both worlds by bringing together campaign management software for email, mobile, and social marketing with powerful customer intelligence from smartFOCUS."

"Having built smartFOCUS into one of the world's leading customer intelligence software companies, the board of directors and I unanimously approved the offer from Emailvision because it represents great value to shareholders and a great future for the company," said Chris Gater, chairman of the board at smartFOCUS.
