How can you effectively send mass permission-based email at scale? That's the question Bryan Wade, Director, Channel Partnerships for ExactTarget, tackled head-on in this session at Cloud Computing Conference & Expo 2009 East. Sending and tracking the impact of messages sent at massive scale can be a daunting task - tracking each individual open, click, and bounce can easily become too intensive for back-end systems to handle. In this session he showed how to effectively send mass email at scale by integrating ExactTarget into your cloud platform, and why so many ISVs, Social Networks, and large-scale senders use ExactTarget to manage mass commercial and transactional messaging. If you're thinking about adding an "MTA or SMTP in the Clouds," or just want to learn more about sending mass messages at scale, viewing this session is a must.
