PivotLink On Demand Business Intelligence Proliferates Adoption to the Edges of Organizations
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA, October 2 / MARKET WIRE/ --
PivotLink, the leading provider of business intelligence
solutions delivered via Software as a Service (SaaS), today announced
that Rossignol, REI, and Distribution Market Advantage (DMA) are realizing
the benefits of on demand business intelligence with user adoption
extending to the edges of their organizations. As employees in all areas of
the organization embrace PivotLink due to the combined power of
sophisticated functionality and ease of use, companies like Rossignol, REI,
and DMA have seen immediate results through improved decision making with
PivotLink's solutions.
PivotLink has enabled more than 700 REI and outside vendor employees to
slice and dice data in any way they choose, thereby increasing effective
decision-making. This has translated into a 9% increase in sales and 1.6%
increase in profit since PivotLink's implementation.
"PivotLink allows people of any technical level to harvest valuable data
easily, driving more effective decisions," said John Strother, Director of
Merchandising Operations & Planning at REI. "With over 700 people
leveraging the PivotLink solution to further our business, users are
empowered to analyze data specific to their needs, which has allowed REI to
see relationships we couldn't see before."
Rossignol lacked consistency in its information structure and it was
impossible for them to link inventory, sales, and other information across
brands. The PivotLink solution streamlined information access across the
company's disparate systems, so business users could quickly and easily run
queries and create customized reports, while reducing the need for core
systems IT staff by 25%.
"To put it bluntly, PivotLink has drastically changed the way we do
business at Rossignol," said Jim Hunter, CFO and vice president of
Operations for Rossignol. "Because PivotLink's solution is so intuitive and
easy to use, people have greater access to more information than ever
before -- something like that becomes addictive operationally."
Distribution Market Advantage has also seen viral adoption across multiple
channels of its organization. With approximately 172 users, DMA uses
PivotLink's solutions across multiple functions, including customers and
suppliers, and has seen increased productivity and synchronization across
the board.
"Many of our customers, like REI, Rossignol, and Distribution Market
Advantage, have seen rapid adoption of our solutions to all corners of
their organizations. PivotLink's quick implementation and superior ease of
use allows any employee, in any organization, to capture and segment an
abundance of data, regardless of their technical expertise," said Quentin
Gallivan, CEO of PivotLink. "These examples have proven that business
intelligence products, which were once thought of as cumbersome and
complex, are now accessible to any organization, large or small."
