Host Analytics Selected as a Red Herring Top 100 North America Tech Startup


REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 20, 2011) - Host Analytics, the leading provider of SaaS-based corporate performance management (CPM) solutions, today announced it has been named a 2011 Red Herring North America top 100 winner. Red Herring's Top 100 North America list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize companies, such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay, that would change the way we live and work.

"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Host Analytics embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture."

Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy and market penetration. Allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discover and advocacy for the most promising new business models in North America, this assessment is complemented by a review of the track record and standing of startups relative to their sector peers.

"It's an honor to be recognized by Red Herring as one of North America's most innovative technology companies," said Jon Kondo, CEO of Host Analytics. "The competition was fierce and award recognition, such as this, speaks volumes about unique SaaS-based approach to CPM. As we look to the future, we'll continue to deliver innovative, game-changing technology to enable executives to make fact-based decisions, ultimately helping companies to out-perform their competition."
