New Feature Enables Business Analysts Using Lyza Desktop Data Analysis Software
to Easily Integrate, Analyze and Report on Salesforce Data
DENVER--(Business Wire)--
Lyzasoft, Inc. introduced today a new feature for Lyza, the company`s desktop
data analysis solution, that enables direct connectivity to Salesforce.com`s
portfolio of CRM applications. This connectivity will allow business analysts
using Lyza to easily integrate Salesforce data with other enterprise data
sources, then analyze, report and share the results. Current Lyza customers will
receive the Salesforce connectivity upgrade at no additional cost. A full
feature version of Lyza, including the new salesforce.com connectivity, is
available for free 30-day trial or purchase at lyzasoft.com.

"While salesforce.com is a recognized market and technology leader in
software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, companies performing BI on Salesforce
data in general find that the product`s analytical capabilities are lacking,"
said Colin White, president of BI Research, a leading BI and data management
consultancy. "There is great interest in solutions that enable organizations to
add analytics to Salesforce - offered as software-as-a-service or in the cloud,
but there is also considerable interest in bringing Salesforce data into the
enterprise for analytical purpose," White said. "For that reason, this move by
Lyzasoft makes good strategic sense and opens up a significant market
opportunity for the company." 

"We see a significant need for salesforce.com customers wanting to analyze their
SaaS CRM data in concert with data from internal systems like billing,
inventory, and staffing," said Lyzasoft CEO Scott Davis. "By allowing analysts
to connect dynamically to Salesforce just like any internal database, Lyza adds
easy and affordable integrated analytics to the rationale for Salesforce
implementations." 

Pricing and Availability

Lyza, complete with salesforce.com connectivity, is available immediately and is
priced at $899 for a single machine, one-year subscription license, unlimited
online support and complimentary product updates. In addition to Salesforce,
Lyza provides data connections to enterprise databases such as IBM DB2,
Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle and Sybase, as well as Microsoft Excel workbooks,
Access databases and text/flat files. Lyza runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.
