GoodData Wins Best of SaaS Showplace Award
Cloud-Based, Software-as-a-Service Business Intelligence Solution Enables Organizations to Gain Greater Visibility Into Key Metrics Driving Their Business
|
Wellesley, Mass. - June 14, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that GoodData has been named the latest winner of the Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions.
The BoSS Awards is an ongoing program which recognizes SaaS companies that are producing tangible business benefits for specific user organizations. These benefits can include increased sales, lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, faster operations and greater profitability.
GoodData helps companies track the metrics that drive their business by making it easy to collect, report on and share data across marketing, sales, support and operations. The company does this through a Cloud Business Intelligence (BI) Platform that delivers business dashboards in weeks instead of months.
An example of the business benefits of GoodData's solution is TriNet, a Human Resources Management services provider. TriNet uses GoodData for Salesforce for sales and marketing analytics in conjunction with Salesforce CRM. Delivering role-based operational dashboards to TriNet executives and regional sales management - powered by GoodData - increased visibility into the sales pipeline across the company, and enabled TriNet to achieve a 62% increase in average deal size for Q1 2010 over Q3 2009. TriNet has also been able to double the number of high-potential deals in its sales pipeline, while cutting in half the number of low caliber deals that were wasting valuable sales time.
It is for these reasons that GoodData has been named a Best of SaaS Showplace Award winner. A summary of the company's winning BoSS Award submission can be found at http://www.saas-showplace.com/awardSummary.php?key=1769.
"We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies and the SaaS Showplace for the business value of our cloud-based SaaS BI solution," said Roman Stanek, GoodData Founder and CEO. "We started the company to help bring metrics front-and-center into any business, and we hope that our customer successes speak for themselves."
"In today's challenging business environment, it is essential to properly target an organization's sales and marketing efforts to produce positive results," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, the strategic consulting firm which conceived and administers the Showplace."GoodData offers a cost-effective BI solution which helps organizations generate valuable analytics so they can improve their performance."
Based on the success of the BoSS Awards program which focuses on SaaS solutions, THINKstrategies has launched the Cloud Computing Business Value (CCBV) Awards program to recognize companies which are delivering Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions producing measurable business benefits for their customers.
