Host Analytics and Proformative Join Forces on Finance in the Cloud

Upcoming Events Facilitate Executive Conversations on the Benefits and Rewards of Cloud Technology for Finance


REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - Sep 29, 2011) - Host Analytics, the leading provider of SaaS corporate performance management (CPM) solutions and Proformative, the fastest-growing professional social network for corporate finance executives, today announced new events focusing on bringing finance to the cloud.

As cloud technologies have improved business processes higher up the company ladder, the next natural frontier is finance. Cloud technology is tailor-made for dynamic data and can close the information gap found in most organizations for automatically "connecting the dots" to better understand the financial impact of decisions.

To showcase cloud success in finance, Proformative and Host Analytics will bring a series of live events to U.S. cities through the remainder of the year. The free seminars will arm finance professionals with tools to evaluate moving enterprise applications -- including CPM and ERP -- to the cloud, featuring industry experts and executives.

"We are collaborating with Proformative to help corporate finance executives understand how the cloud can transform their businesses," said Jon Kondo, CEO of Host Analytics. "The events will include tips, knowledge sharing and real world examples showcasing how the cloud can transform key planning processes, and improve decision making across the enterprise."

"We have a long history with Host Analytics and shared goals in our commitment to serving finance, accounting and treasury professionals," said John Kogan, Proformative's CEO. "Serving our common community through education and valuable information exchange, we bring together thousands of finance and accounting professionals to explore the value of cloud technology for the enterprise."
