ROI: Saving Time and Money Using Software To Manage AR
watch/moneyThree key letters seem to resound through the corridors of every organization in these economic times: R-O-I. How many times have you heard or been asked "What is the ROI on that?"  Analyst Relations software is no exception. 
 
Peggy O'Neill, Institute of Industry Analyst Relations board member and former head of Oracle's AR, recently took an in-depth look at the topic and authored a white paper entitled:  In Search of Efficiency: Software Options for Analyst Relations. The article examines the pros and cons of all software options available for managing AR programs.
 
One of her most compelling findings was that an organization using AR software has the potential of saving $51,000 a year per AR employee, while increasing his or her efficiencies 34%. Click here to read the entire paper.
 
New Feature: Analyst Finder Subsets
lightbulbA new feature in ARchitect allows you to refine result sets in the Analyst Finder. As you already know, the Analyst Finder lets you filter the analyst database on over a dozen criteria to find the set of analysts you need. From there you can create a group, output to a report, etc. 
 
But what if you want to further refine that result set to get an even more carefully targeted subset of analysts?  Now you can.  Simply use the Analyst Finder as usual and when it displays your "intermediate" result set, click the Create Subset button. A checkbox then appears next to each analyst. Check the analysts you wish to keep in your subset and then you can do all of the same things: create a group, output to a report, etc.

Best PracticeTraining:  Analyst Lists That Produce Results
1keyboard Focusing your efforts on the most influential analysts in your marketplace is key to a successful AR program.  An AR best practice is to evaluate the influence of selected analysts and then create your key analyst list. 
 
But how do you determine your own "short list" of analysts to investigate?  How do you keep up to date with the changing analyst landscape?  ARchitect provides processes that can help you select and manage your analyst lists, ultimately saving you time, compiling better data and increasing efficiencies.
