ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 14, 2007 -- Sage Software announced today, during its
annual Insights business partner conference, the new Sage SalesLogix Visual
Analyzer business analytics tool for use with the Sage SalesLogix customer
relationship management (CRM) solution. SalesLogix Visual Analyzer features
10 interactive and customizable dashboards, including key performance
indicator (KPI), forecasting, opportunity management, and marketing
dashboards, among others, to help users quickly and securely access and
interpret data managed within their Sage SalesLogix systems, and make
accurate and reliable business decisions.
Sage Software also today introduced the tenth anniversary edition (v7.2) of
Sage SalesLogix, featuring a modernized Web architecture and enhanced
Mobile CRM capabilities. (See today's "Sage SalesLogix v7.2" press release
for more details.)
"We're continually evolving Sage SalesLogix to deliver CRM that works the
way our customers want to work," explained David van Toor, general manager
for Sage CRM Solutions, North America. "SalesLogix Visual Analyzer provides
users with a single-screen view of business analytics, and transforms data
into actionable information to aid rapid sales and marketing decisions."
SalesLogix Visual Analyzer collects customer and account information from
the Sage SalesLogix database to provide a consistent, single point of
analysis for employees of all roles; from executives and sales directors,
through customer-facing employees. Users can customize business rules and
alerts to monitor changes or trends in business activities, as well as
measure individual, team and product or service performance against
specified KPIs.
SalesLogix Visual Analyzer uses a separate data warehouse to load files 10
to 100 times faster than a direct database load, and ensures that optimal
Sage SalesLogix system performance is maintained to support multi-user,
multi-client access.
Ten Interactive Dashboards
Select dashboards provided by Sage SalesLogix Visual Analyzer include:
KPI Dashboard -- Tracks a high-level view of sales opportunities and
performance metrics. Users can drill down into specific transaction details
for further analysis. Managers can set user data-viewing privileges.
Forecast Dashboard -- Tracks sales pipelines, forecasts and close rates.
Sales managers can examine trends and make timely adjustments, as well as
segment forecasts by representative, product line, or region.
Opportunity Dashboard -- Identifies sales opportunities with the best
chance of closing in a current time period. Users can create and track
prioritized target lists.
Marketing Dashboard -- Measures return on marketing campaign investments.
Users can analyze response and conversion rates to gauge the effectiveness
of specific offers.
Additional SalesLogix Visual Analyzer dashboards include customer service,
win/loss, mapping, activity, metric ranking, and details themed dashboards.
