Pittsburgh, PA (PRWeb) March 30, 2007 - Matrix Solutions today announced a software release, MatrixPlus Enterprise v4, the corporate level version of their strategic sales operation solution, MatrixPlus.
MatrixPlus Enterprise is a strategic sales operations tool that provides decision-makers at the corporate level with a custom view of the information that maps disparate market-level business information for categories, agencies, and advertisers to nomenclature that is used by Corporate. By “pulling-up” detailed market assignments for category, agency and advertiser to corporate naming conventions, MatrixPlus Enterprise enables corporate users to review trending, and perform planning and analysis with added business intelligence. The data is normalized to view at headquarters, market and outlet levels. Corporate managers can accurately gauge performance of corporate, market and outlet sales plans. This is done without any impact on market processes and without a major investment of time to make changes to the data or manually aggregate information using spreadsheets.

From historical advertiser billing to ad category growth MatrixPlus provides information to satisfy my needs.
