SMB Group Examines Growing CPM Market and Recognizes Host Analytics Solution and Executive Team as Key Competitive Strengths


REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - August 9, 2010) -  Host Analytics, the leading provider of on-demand corporate performance management (CPM) solutions, today announced recognition from leading industry-analyst firm SMB Group in a report on the rapidly growing Corporate Performance Management solutions industry. Host Analytics was one of the seven providers SMB Group examined for its July 2010 report, entitled "Corporate Performance Management Solutions for Mid-Market Enterprises." 

In the report, SMB Group examines current trends within the market, the challenges that mid-market firms face in the CPM area and how CPM solutions can help them address these challenges.

The report cites Host Analytics as having an "experienced team with a strong understanding of upper mid-market companies and larger enterprise CPM needs," and recognizes the company's solutions as "an attractive offering for upper-midsize companies that want to deploy rapidly and cost-effectively."

The report also acknowledges its "broad set of CPM functionality including score carding and financial consolidation" as well as Host Analytics' SaaS-based delivery model, which "can provide TCO advantages compared to on-premise solutions."

"The complexities and volatility of today's businesses are incredibly tremendous," said Sanjeev Aggarwal, SMB Group. "That is why it has become increasingly important to keep track of performance and model the future with CPM solutions. After all, making the most strategic decisions requires insight that only these solutions can provide. Technology CPM solutions, such as those from Host Analytics, are a logical step for enterprises that truly care about getting jobs done faster, better and more accurately."
