REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today Cloud9, the world’s leader in cloud business intelligence for sales, announced Cloud9 Sales Reports and Dashboards.

“Reporting is regarded as a necessary evil by many sales teams”

Either scheduled and delivered automatically, or accessed on-line, Cloud9’s Sales Reports and Dashboards delivers a broad range of sales reports – including those reports that are difficult to get from the CRM system. Cloud9 delivers a library of pre-defined reports, or users can create any type of customized sales report or dashboard. Reports include a complete history of every bit of sales data a customer cares to track.

As part of the Cloud9 Sales Performance Suite, Sales Reports and Dashboards leverages the single data warehouse Cloud9 pulls from corporate CRM, financial and incentive compensation systems, as well as other data records to provide secure historical and operational reporting with frequent refreshes and snapshots.

“Reporting is regarded as a necessary evil by many sales teams,” said Jim Burleigh, chief executive officer of Cloud9. “It’s a cumbersome process of knitting together data from separate corporate systems, which requires hours of administrative and management time better spent on focusing on future deals. Cloud9 Sales Reports and Dashboards simplifies the reporting process to put the historical information sales leaders need to make the right decisions to identify risk in the pipeline and to deliver on the forecast.”
