PivotLink Debuts New Version of its Industry-Leading SaaS Business Intelligence Solution

New collaboration and visualization features empower companies and their extended network of partners to mine data easier and faster and enhance the reporting process

San Francisco – Mar. 10, 2009 - PivotLink, the leading provider of business intelligence solutions delivered via Software as a Service (SaaS), today announced the general availability of PivotLink 4.2, the fastest, easiest and most cost effective solution for analyzing and reporting business data. PivotLink’s latest offering includes new security features, dashboard technologies and rich graphics to increase business awareness when interpreting complex and detailed data.

“To be successful in the current economic environment, business leaders need to continuously effect change to bring efficiencies into their organization and throughout their extended enterprise. Relationships with key customers, constituents and market segments must be solidified and collaboration with partners and suppliers is key to driving efficiencies,” said Quentin Gallivan, CEO of PivotLink. “PivotLink’s new offering was designed to allow business to better understand and analyze their operational information across systems both in and outside their enterprise.”

Part of PivotLink’s advancement in the new service offering is the ability to control all specific security access points when sharing data between one or more organizations. Seamless collaboration between vendors and suppliers results in a distributed information platform that can detect critical opportunities and issues rapidly, as well as promote collaborative problem solving. This form of analytical collaboration is needed for all organizations that have critical dependencies on distributors or suppliers. PivotLink’s new offering was designed to satisfy both requirements without the associated capital investments or ongoing sustaining and maintenance costs of traditional on premise solutions. “We had all this data which I needed to make available around the world along with analytical capability to collaborate with our partners and make more informed decisions about how to grow the business,” said Ken Harris CIO & SVP at Shaklee Corporation, a leading provider of premium-quality natural nutrition products, personal care products, environmentally friendly household products, and state-of-the-art air and water treatment systems. “With PivotLink, we’re able to leverage our data repositories and quickly connect people with key information on sales trends, promotions, customers and distributors, which help them be more effective and makes our company more successful.”

New features within PivotLink 4.2 include:

• Improved Customization: New advanced layout options enable instant customization by business users of how the dashboard is visually represented.
• Advanced Navigation: New explorer functions allow users to preview different reporting styles in real time by scrolling over the potential graph or chart that best visually represents their data for any initiative.
• Enhanced Control and Collaboration: New administration allows for the sharing of dashboards, reports and graphs that adhere to all data access, secured views and available drill-path navigation options. Reports, graphics and gadgets can now be shared by large numbers of people, within and outside the organization while still maintaining the proper levels of access and security controls.
