TrackResults Analytics is excited to see so many companies maturing in technology. This proactive approach allows aggressive capture of strategic advantages and larger market share, simply by applying higher level analysis than your competitors.
Jesus Betanzos, : VP Latin America BizDev, says, “The primary difference is the ability to easily apply multi-directional analysis to the reports used in the decision-making process.”
In their book “Competing on Analytics,” Thomas Davenport and Jeanne Harris emphasize the importance of trust and credibility between the analyst and decision maker. “Decision makers typically don’t have the time or ability to perform analyses themselves.With a ‘close, trusting relationship’ in place, executives will frame their needs correctly, the analysts will ask the right questions, and the executives will be more likely to take action on analysis they trust.”
General reporting only translates raw data into information, whereas analytics transform data and information into insights. Reporting helps companies monitor their online business and be alerted to when data falls outside of expected ranges. Good analytics should raise questions about the business from its end users.
One way to distinguish whether your organization is emphasizing reporting or analysis is by identifying the primary tasks that are being performed by your analytics team. If most of the team’s time is spent on activities such as building, configuring, consolidating, organizing, formatting, and summarizing — that’s reporting. The goal of TrackResults analytics is to help answer questions by interpreting the data at a deeper level and provide actionable indicators.

We are always investing in better infrastructure and performance for our clients. It is not always about features, its also about portability, mobility and connectivity. That was soooo 15 seconds ago!
What has changed isn’t readily visible, however, a lot of performance tuning has been applied under the hood. Here is a partial list of what has changed:
Faster, Better. In testing, a text string search of nine combined fields on 2,000,000 records went down from an average of 14 seconds to about 2.6 seconds (amazing how long 11.4 seconds feels when you’re in pain).
Our goal is to remain the vacation ownership industry’s only easy-to-use performance analytics and instant report builder with fast results. Any clients noticing performance changes (positive or negative experience) are encouraged to comment to us using the Contact Us form.
TrackResults released a new role-based feature, “Dashboard user,” which allows web access directly to the dashboard reporting module.
The main purpose of this new role is to allow sales agents the ability to track goals and performance, add CRM comments, and using TrackResults advanced client lookup features, still protect compartmented information.
TrackResults says, “This limited role is a type of an introductory role to the sales agents, as they learn to track the Key performance indicators where the company wants them focused. Novice users can instantly access this dashboard from their cellphones, or any other mobile device. This role also allows the agents to “comment” on the current status of a client, communicating to other company staff very specific states of the existing lead, prospect or client.”
This is a great way for companies to take the first step toward cross communication and interconnectivity between staff.

Comparing our Live Business Intelligence database to a spreadsheet or crystal report is like comparing a stockmarket ticker to last week’s stock prices quoted in the newspaper. Your static software reports can’t do this for you.
Picture two gamblers consider betting on a horserace. One gambler reads last week’s results on 2 of the 8 horses , listens to the crowds opinions, and places a bet with your money… Use him, and you win about 13% of the time.
The other gambler has a spreadsheet and a software program. It is familiar with of 7 of the 8 horses, in rain, on mud, on grass, with different jockeys, when in specific postions farther from the rail, and under all weather types. He confirms with the trainers and track vet of all horses’ current health, as of this am. THEN he reads the 1 page summary of three other renowned handicappers’ opinions and calculates the odds and bets with your money. You win 34% of the time. Then he subscribes to an advanced business intelligence service, and increases your winning ratio to 43%. Its the 9% extra margin YOU DONT HAVE and its ALL PROFIT .
By 2014, 40% of business in competitive markets will rely on business intelligence to survive. Depend on it like life or death importance. Luckily, your not forced.
