About Us

Drive Fact-Based Decisions

The Host Analytics Decision Platform™ reveals the full impact of decisions – both risk and reward. Executives make decisions about company direction more confidently because they have full visibility into business performance. For example, one of our customers used our application suite to reduce inventory costs by $1 million, adjust head count costs, and plan for future growth. Their finance and accounting teams were able to drive these fact-based decisions because they had access to data and reports that they didn’t have with their previous manual financial processes and spread sheets. They were no longer swamped with collecting data but could finally focus on the analysis that elevated their impact across their organization. Of course, there are many benefits to making better decisions like increasing revenue and decreasing costs. In fact, Host Analytics' users enjoy a high-level of business performance in terms of profitability growth, budget accuracy, and on-time achievement of enterprise objectives.

Customers “DECIDE” With Host Analytics

Our finance application is different. It is designed for finance and accounting professionals, as well as, business managers and executives. Further, it delivers all the advantages of cloud computing. Here are some of our main differentiators:

• Depth of product: Each Host Analytics product is a world-class standalone application. When used together they are the ultimate suite designed to provide everything you need in one seamless application. We offer innovative products and capabilities, like Decision Hub, that no other vendor provides.
• Excel for the web: Rather than forcing users to learn a new application, we offer an Excel web interface that managers are already familiar with.
• Cube analytics without the hassle: With data centralized in one database cube, there is one version of the truth. Unlike other legacy vendors, you are not saddled with maintenance fees or consulting costs to make changes to your reports. Business users can simply make changes themselves without delay.
• IT burden free: Many companies choose Host Analytics because they don’t have an IT department or they have an overburdened IT department. Many IT leaders prefer us because we meet business requirements without adding to IT management headaches or costs.
• Deploy fast: Go-live much faster than with complex on-premise software because there is no hardware or software to install. Get up and running before your next budget cycle. Some companies go from signing a contract to go-live in just two weeks.
• Enterprise trusted: Enterprises trust Host Analytics because there are no cost overruns with our fixed fee activations and predictable subscription pricing. Further, we guarantee uptime and have a flawless security record over more than 10 years.

Companies of Any Size, Industry, or Geography DECIDE with Host Analytics

Our application suite fits businesses of any size or industry because it’s modular and easy to personalize. Further, our cloud computing delivery model levels the playing field for midsize and small businesses that have traditionally been shut out of corporate performance management applications due to the high costs and complexity of on-premise software.

Fast growing companies with operations in multiple countries, like Groupon, DECIDE with Host Analytics because all they need to get started is an internet connection and a web browser. Our growing list of successful customers tells the story best. Here are just a few.
