SAN FRANCISCO – Salesforce.com Dreamforce Conference - September 17, 2007 –Synergex today announced the availability of the on-demand VisualSmart business intelligence solution for salesforce.com's AppExchange. VisualSmart provides the ability to aggregate multiple data sources for analysis and reporting.

Synergex will be demonstrating VisualSmart at Dreamforce ‘07, salesforce.com’s User and Developer Conference.

The VisualSmart on-demand business intelligence application provides the ability to aggregate data collected by Salesforce with data from other disparate sources. The data is stored in an OLAP cube data warehouse, where it becomes available for use in VisualSmart’s extensive multi-dimensional analytic and reporting functions. VisualSmart users can then drill down and drill through for an increasingly granular view of their data, quickly identifying problems, trends, historical information, and patterns. Analytic views and top-n reports can also be used in VisualSmart dashboards. Single sign-on ensures that Salesforce customers always have true business intelligence capabilities at their fingertips. The Report Distribution feature allows Salesforce customers to schedule reports and automatically send them to select groups of Contacts. Other features include an all-in-one interactive builder module that allows users to select the type and appearance of a new analytic view or report; a data-level security setting option; self-provisioning admin capabilities, and dynamic mashup support.

"Synergex was able to solve our analysis and reporting needs with their VisualSmart business intelligence application,” said Salesforce customer Richard King, president of RestaurantLink. “VisualSmart aggregates the data and delivers the real-time information our customers need for critical decisions. It's all good!"

“Our goal is to extend Salesforce capabilities, and add value for Salesforce users,” said Michele Wong, Synergex CEO. “Our experience in open-system business software gives us an edge on aggregating disparate data sources with Salesforce data. This gives the Salesforce users the freedom and unparalleled ability to create reports and analyses incorporating data from across the enterprise — a true “single view” of their business.”

"Our customers are looking for business intelligence that integrates Salesforce with legacy ERP systems and other corporate databases," said George HU, Salesforce.com CMO. "VisualSmart is a perfect match for what our Salesforce customers need: extended analytics and reporting capabilities plus immediate access to all their information. In addition, the development team at Synergex has done a great job of making sure that VisualSmart incorporates the latest Salesforce innovations, so our mutual customers can take advantage of best practices that enable them to take on-demand success to the next level."
