Host Analytics Version 8.1 is Here
This month Host Analytics released a new version of its software-as-a-service BPM suite. Host Analytics version 8.1 includes some new functionality, but the biggest change is in the packaging of the company’s performance management offerings into three editions. The Team Edition is designed for businesses that are fairly small or have fairly simple BPM needs. It includes budgeting, planning, dashboards, and reporting via a relational model; it does not include Host Analytics’ OLAP engine. The second package is the Standard Edition, which includes budgeting, planning, and dashboards, as well as the OLAP engine and a Balanced Scorecard feature that relates corporate scorecards with departmental scorecards — one of the functionality upgrades in version 8.1. Finally, the Enterprise Edition includes everything in the Standard Edition, plus consolidation capabilities and a revenue forecasting feature, which is also improved compared with previous versions.
