LOUISVILLE, CO--(Marketwire - August 23, 2010) -  myDIALS, a leading vendor of SaaS performance management solutions, today announced the availability of its myDIALS Performance Module for Marketing, the industry's first SaaS performance management solution that provides sophisticated visualization and analytics to show the effect marketing programs have on revenues and profits. Executive teams can now quickly understand how marketing spend will impact revenues through what-if scenarios.

By providing right-time information on marketing metrics such as leads, website activity, marketing campaign effectiveness, conversion ratios, social media reach and costs per campaign, myDIALS delivers marketers and the C-suite with the actionable information they need to make better decisions more quickly regarding marketing mix, spend, and follow-through. myDIALS takes this further by correlating campaign metrics with incremental revenue and gross profit to show true Return on Marketing Investment -- ROMI.

THE NEWS:

  • In today's tighter budget climate, marketing departments have come under increased pressure to provide standard measurement and prove ROI. In particular, social and online engagement has become a critical component to marketing programs but analysis of those channels has been elusive.
  • Traditional BI offerings have focused primarily on financial outcomes and lack the capability to provide a complete view of modern marketing data.
  • myDIALS now provides a holistic view and captures and presents relevant outcome, activity and driver metrics as part of an interactive analytic dashboard that shows the interplay between marketing information and effects on a business' bottom line. What used to take months to gather and analyze can now be implemented in a matter of days and then continuously used to understand and improve marketing performance.

- Alex Shootman, Senior Vice President Worldwide Sales, Eloqua

"Traditional BI solution providers don't provide a holistic view of the entire marketing process including activities and outcomes, and so marketing professionals end up improvising and making decisions based on incomplete, out of date, and inaccurate information. myDIALS delivers the right performance metrics when and how users need them with easy-to-use analytics and real-time scenario analysis, so every department -- marketing included -- can make operational decisions to improve overall business performance. "
- Wayne Morris, CEO of myDIALS
