REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - Oct 25, 2011) - Host Analytics, the leading provider of SaaS corporate performance management (CPM) solutions, today announced that Nextag, a leading comparison shopping website for products and services, have decided that the Host Analytics CPM suite will be the preferred solution to enable efficient budgeting and planning processes, as well as gain better insight into the financial effect of business decisions.
Nextag provides best-in-class search technology that helps more than 30 million monthly customers find the products, prices and information they need, when and where they need them.
"As a rapidly growing company, the ability to understand full effects of our investments is crucial," said Derek Yung, vice president of finance and strategic planning, Nextag. "Like most companies, we had existing processes in place. The area we struggled with, however, was making sure those processes were thorough, error-free, and most importantly, efficient. Versioning issues and the overall complexities of using spreadsheets for budgeting and planning were issues for us. Streamlining the process was our first goal. Next comes more time for analysis, better decisions and improved performance."
After a thorough vetting of several other CPM providers, Nextag selected Host Analytics in part due to its intuitive user interface and SaaS-based delivery method. More than 60 employees across the company will rely on Host Analytics' CPM suite for budgeting, forecasting and Host Analytics' state of the art external reporting features.
"We hadn't initially considered implementing a SaaS solution," continued Yung. "But after seeing Host Analytics' technology, it was easy to see the benefits for Nextag. The speed of implementation and more simple design of the solution was an added bonus. Today, Host Analytics' CPM suite is our biggest SaaS solution and one that we rely on for many of the critical budgeting and planning processes."
