And Gartner now predicts with the rapid increase of automation technologies, data, and AI, the next five years will be even more disruptive than the past five years.

And as part of this disruption, Gartner also predicts that marketing will see increased accountability for sales and closing support. It will eventually extend well beyond the initial close through the entire customer revenue cycle.
