SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce [NYSE: CRM], the Customer Success Platform and world's #1 CRM company, today unveiled the next generation of Salesforce Analytics Cloud, delivering actionable intelligence across the Customer Success Platform. New Wave Actions will enable Salesforce users to take actions directly at the point of insight from within any Wave Analytics dashboard. In addition, Salesforce will deliver Wave visualizations across the entire Customer Success Platform. And, new Wave Analytics Apps built by leading ISVs will extend the power of Wave Analytics to more line of business users and industries.

Introducing Wave Actions—Now Analytics Is Connected to Every Business Action
The next wave of Analytics Cloud innovations seamlessly connect insights and business actions to deliver a whole new level of customer success. While legacy analytics solutions are disconnected from the business processes and workflows that drive businesses forward, Wave Actions will empower Salesforce users to act upon deep insights instantly, directly within any Wave Analytics dashboard. Companies are able to create a menu of custom Wave Actions—such as create a case, update an account or assign a task. And because Wave is natively integrated with Salesforce, Wave Actions will be automatically pushed from Wave into the corresponding Salesforce record. For example, when a sales manager drills into her custom Wave Analytics dashboard and discovers a customer attrition pattern within specific accounts, she can instantly assign a task to a rep directly from the app, addressing the problem from the point of insight.

Salesforce Delivers Wave Visualizations Across the Entire Customer Success Platform
On-premise analytics software and niche visualization tools deliver static, outdated reports and often have complicated graphical interfaces with steep learning curves—separating business users from the insights they need. And since companies are forced to deploy point solutions for different analytics needs, business users lack consistent user experiences for visualization and exploration. This makes finding insights a slow and unintuitive process. Now, Wave visualizations will power every Salesforce data exploration experience across the Customer Success Platform:

  • New Lightning Reports & Dashboards, powered by Wave Visualizations: Reports & Dashboards are built into Salesforce and have always delivered operational CRM performance metrics, such as team performance, lead volume, conversation rates and more, all in real-time. Now, with Wave visualizations those metrics will be brought to life through a new, intuitive experience for designing and editing dashboards, including resizing and rearranging components and running reports. And with a diverse charting library and the ability to modify and filter reports on the fly, charts and data will instantly update so Salesforce users always have the most relevant, real-time insights.
  • New Wave Embedded Dashboards: Wave Analytics Apps deliver dashboards with multi-dimensional analytics for deeper insights, extending beyond operational CRM performance metrics to examine year-over-year trending and complex KPIs from a variety of data sources. Now companies can embed any Wave dashboard or chart directly into any Salesforce record or object, empowering Salesforce users with critical and contextual insights instantly, without having to leave an existing workflow. For example, after getting real-time operational insights into current closed deals and performance against quota, a sales manager would turn to a Wave Analytics dashboard to do a full pipeline analysis and identify which deals need to be accelerated on a specific customer account to hit key targets. And now, that dashboard can be embedded and explored right within the customer account record.

Leading ISVs to Showcase New Pilot Wave Analytics Apps at Dreamforce 2015—Opening Up a New World of Insights for Every Business User
The Wave Analytics Platform was designed from the ground up to be open, making it easy to build and deploy analytics apps faster than ever. More than 80 companies have joined the Wave partner ecosystem to extend the power of analytics to every business need, and at Dreamforce 2015, 13 leading ISVs will showcase new pilot Wave Analytics Apps that enable users to not only uncover insight, but also take instant action. Apps will include:

  • Apttus Quote-to-Cash Intelligence: Surfaces deeper, more actionable insights on quoting, contract and customer data, enabling sales teams to meet and beat their revenue-related targets.
  • FinancialForce ERP Wave Apps: Incorporates and analyzes financial and supply chain performance data, allowing business users to gain valuable insight on the entire customer journey and improve the way they run their business.
  • SteelBrick Analytics: Provides executive leaders across organizations with immediate visibility and insights into the full customer life cycle--from quotes through contracts, orders, revenue and cash--all in one system.
  • Vlocity Communications Cloud Analytics: Allows communications companies to make more data-driven decisions and improve customer satisfaction by measuring and predicting churn, identifying call-time inefficiencies, analyzing service histories and propensity to purchase.

The Wave Analytics Platform Accelerates the Pace of Analytics Innovation
These latest advancements cap a year of innovation for the Analytics Cloud. Wave is built on Salesforce's trusted, multi-tenant and scalable architecture and delivers the same pace of continuous innovation as the rest of the Customer Success Platform—a departure from the slow drip of innovation that has plagued analytics for two decades. In fact, Analytics Cloud has already delivered a series of significant advancements in its inaugural year, including a new generation of role-specific analytics apps (Sales Wave and Service Wave Analytics), expanded mobile functionality (Analytics Cloud for Apple Watch and Wave Mobile Connector and Dashboard Designer) and expanded use cases for new data sources (Salesforce Wave for Big Data).
