Plus, as the volume of marketing email that consumers receive increases, companies are turning to centralization to better manage their brand and sender reputation.

I don't know any such software systems, I suggest you post your question on the Email Marketer's Club forum (www.emailmarketersclub.com) and on the email roundtable (http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/emailroundtable/). I'm sure you'll get a good answer there!

Thanks for linking to that article. It was really interesting.
Do you know of any software systems provide that kind of 360-degree approach out of the box?
