ServiceMax Joins New Salesforce Analytics Cloud Ecosystem to Bring In-Depth Analysis to Service Organizations

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 13, 2014) - Dreamforce 2014 -- ServiceMax, the leading field service management solution for a new era of business, today announced it has joined the Salesforce Analytics Cloud ecosystem to bring in-depth analysis to service organizations and help drive growth.

Wave, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud, is the first cloud analytics platform designed for every business user, making it easier than ever for anyone to explore data, uncover new insights, and take action instantly from any device.

Companies today are more reliant on service revenue for growth and profits than ever before, but many companies lack the ability to give their organizations the kind of data-driven insights they need to succeed. With the Internet of Things, and millions of connected devices and technicians in the field, the ability to simply analyze everything from profitability to better allocation of resources, opens up tremendous new growth opportunities. With the Salesforce Analytics Cloud, companies can combine all the data from their different business systems -- including ServiceMax, Salesforce, and ERPs -- to extract clear business insights and make better business decisions.

Comments on the News
"Machines and service organizations today generate more data than ever before, and getting insights out of that data and into the hands of decision makers is a critical advantage for businesses today," said ServiceMax CEO Dave Yarnold. "ServiceMax paired with the Salesforce Analytics Cloud puts the power to discover and act on data-driven insights squarely in the hands of the business user. By eliminating wait times from the IT department, field service departments can make better informed decisions with quick turnarounds and the most up-to-date data."

"The convergence of mobile, social, and cloud computing has sparked a data revolution, and companies today must leverage data-driven insights to connect with their customers in a whole new way," said Keith Bigelow, senior vice president and general manager, Salesforce Analytics Cloud, salesforce.com. "Salesforce Analytics Cloud is the first cloud analytics platform designed for every business user. With partners such as ServiceMax, customers can benefit from a wealth of additional analytic applications to extend analytics for every business need, making it easier than ever for anyone to explore and share data instantly, uncover new insights and take action from anywhere."
