Alterian Introduces Analytical Dashboard
New Offering Empowers Even Occasional Users with Access to
Rapid, Insightful Reporting
CHICAGO – April 2, 2009 – Alterian (LSE:ALN), the leading
international integrated marketing platform provider, today
announced the availability of Analytical Dashboard, a new
application designed specifically for business users to monitor and
explore key indicators of marketing performance.
In today’s complex and fast-paced business environment,
distributing marketing intelligence throughout the entire
enterprise and among suppliers and partners is paramount.
Traditional enterprise marketing and business intelligence
technologies are costly to implement and maintain and include
functionalities that are designed for a select group of power
users, leaving the majority of marketing information consumers in
the dark. This gap has created the need for an easy-to-use,
universally-accessible application that enables all users to gather
the appropriate information they require to effectively do their
jobs.
Analytical Dashboard presents users with a straightforward
solution and user-friendly interface. The platform provides casual
users with clear-cut graphics to more effectively visualize data
and understand how the business is running. Analytical Dashboard
goes beyond the functionality of standard business intelligence
tools by providing links to drive extended analyses and campaign
execution through seamless integration with the Alterian Integrated
Marketing Platform.
Analytical Dashboard offers a host of benefits, including that
it:
- Requires no training to use
- Needs no installation or downloads on the client computer
- Provides business users with access to data in Alterian
engine
- Constructs detailed reports and dashboards quickly and
easily
- Integrates directly with other Alterian products
- Reduces the effort and cost in distributing reports through
other methods
“Today’s marketers face increased scrutiny to drive measurable
results to the company’s bottom line – without having to wait for
days for reports,” said David Eldridge, Chief Executive Officer of
Alterian. “Analytical Dashboard helps marketers and company
executives quickly determine the value of their marketing efforts,
even without any formal training. This gets the right information
to the decision makers – so that they can see an accurate picture
of where their marketing dollars are going and drive better
marketing going forward.”
“Analytical Dashboard is a cost-effective solution to provide
marketers, regardless of their technological expertise, with the
right tools to make confident, well-informed decisions virtually
instantaneously,” said Trae Clevenger, vice president of strategy
and innovation at Targetbase. “With Analytical Dashboard, marketers
can avoid unnecessary hiccups and bottlenecks and focus on what
matters most.”
Alterian Analytical Dashboard is available with immediate
effect.
