| Strategy Companion's SaaS Model Creates New Ways to Leverage your Data |
|
|
|
More and more companies are recognizing the value of sharing data with suppliers, partners, and even customers. This
horizontal collaboration creates a powerful advantage today and will become the requirement of tomorrow. Sharing information with
these external users presents both new opportunities and new challenges.
Connecting and collaborating with your customers, partners, and suppliers can quickly take your business to the next level. Companies
that leverage the value of their data realize benefits that expand and improve the business. These are just a few of the benefits you
can achieve by sharing your data with external users:
 |
Greater Customer Loyalty |
| |
Offer a richer experience by providing your customers with access to your data, increasing their bond with you and improving retention rates. |
|
|
Increased Revenue |
| |
Leverage the inherent value of your data and create new revenue opportunities by offering your data
and related reports, dashboards, and analytical tools as a subscription service to your customers. |
|
|
Improved Process Efficiency |
| |
Provide your suppliers access to your data to help them improve forecasting and better manage inventory demand. |
|
The challenge is providing your new, external users with an easy way to access your data, regardless of their own in-house technical architecture.
With every company using different platforms, operating systems, and hardware, it's nearly impossible to provide data access with a tool that
works in every environment. Plus, training every new external user would be prohibitively time-consuming and expensive.

Software-as-a-Service is the key to extending applications
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) can help solve the challenge of extending your applications and data. SaaS describes offering an application
as a service that is provided to customers over the Internet, eliminating the need to install and run the application on the customer's
own computer. Where application service providers (ASPs) typically host a software instance for a single company, SaaS allows the software
to be provided as a service to multiple companies.
SaaS is quickly increasing in popularity and use. About a third of those interviewed by InformationWeek said they are already using a SaaS
application and another third are considering SaaS or planning to adopt. Gartner's research says that by 2011, 25% of all new business
software will be delivered as SaaS.
At Strategy Companion, we quickly realized that our customers need a powerful reporting and analysis solution that is not only easy to use,
but is easily extended to their customers, partners, and suppliers. Strategy Companion's SaaS licensing model for Analyzer lets you offer
Analyzer as the front-end solution for data access. Analyzer allows companies to host their reporting and analysis locally, but deliver it
globally.
