MENLO PARK, CA--(Marketwire - April 2, 2009) - youcalc, a provider of on-demand analytics apps for online marketing and on-demand CRM, today announced a series of analytics apps that significantly reduce the time it takes analysts and admins to analyze sales force and call center activities.
 
"The term 'analytics' is used so loosely in the cloud communities that their popular definition can be confused with simple reporting," said Rasmus Madsen, CEO of youcalc. "But thousands of Salesforce.com users have already discovered what a set of enterprise-class analytics apps can do for them, and they will never go back to the query-based reporting alternatives available on AppExchange."
 
The real difference between reporting and analytics is that while reporting is basically views of data already in the system (e.g. total sales by region), analytics allows users to create new insight by crunching the data and generating calculated metrics, e.g. lead conversion ratios, funnel conversion ratios, etc. The new Salesforce.com analytics apps from youcalc lets users perform 100% custom analysis on any data from their Salesforce.com database, and generate new insight in a fraction of the time it would take to use traditional reporting tools.
 
In addition to faster and more powerful customization capabilities, youcalc apps offer more dynamic functionality and animated 3D Flash chart graphics that can be easily personalized.
 
youcalc currently offers more than 25 Salesforce.com analytics apps and will continue to grow the portfolio. To access the whole portfolio of youcalc's apps for all cloud-based apps, visit www.youcalc.com
