San Diego, Calif – June 25, 2013 – Roambi, the stunning business app that redesigns the way the world interacts with data, today announced the launch of Roambi Business, the company’s new secure cloud platform. Roambi Business helps democratize data from a variety of sources by providing organizations of all sizes -- from SMBs to Fortune 50 companies -- with instant access to data-derived insights, without having to invest in upfront or additional infrastructure costs and IT resources. Whether it’s big data, Excel spreadsheets, CRM systems, databases, or traditional business intelligence systems, Roambi Business transforms data to illuminate important issues and deliver key insights.

“Roambi Business is a big step forward for the data publishers and analysts supporting Roambi,” said Riley Newman, Head of Analytics at Airbnb. "User and content management is now much easier and more intuitive, and the introduction of the API has helped further streamline our automated processes that keep our Roambi views up to date.”

“Mobility means that more people require access to their data in a manner they can more easily understand it.  This is not just a need for mobile reports - fully interactive visualizations of dynamically changing data are required in order for the mobile worker to gain the maximum productivity,” said Clive Longbottom, analyst and founder, Quocirca.  “For highest availability and the avoidance of management and maintenance headaches, Quocirca believes that a cloud-based approach gives the best results.”

Roambi Business extends big data insights to every level of an organization, providing line managers to C-level executives with the ability to view and interact with up-to-the minute company information from the palm of their hand. Alongside its new cloud offering, Roambi also announced the launch of its North American Partner Program, a new program that provides both solution and referral partners a unique opportunity to share in the exponentially growing mobility market.

Furthermore, today Roambi released a “Big Data, Big Insights” study that reveals a growing demand for mobile and visual data access across organizations. Key study findings taken from a pool of customers and partners include:

In a Boom, Businesses Double-Down on Data: Nearly half (47 percent) have seen stronger than expected business growth in Q1 of 2013 and 69 percent plan to increase technology investments this year. Top three spending priorities are data visualization tools, mobile hardware or software, and business intelligence/big data solutions.

Mobile Madness: The overwhelming majority (70 percent) conducts half or more of business outside of the office. This trend will only accelerate as 82 percent expect the mobile or remote work to increase this year.

On-the-Go Productivity is on the Rise: 82 percent said they are just as productive or more productive when working outside the office.  Access to critical business documents and apps on mobile devices is cited as most helpful in boosting productivity.

Seeing is Believing: Respondents ranked data visualization second only to email as the most critical mobile app and said interactive charts and graphs reveal the most helpful business insights. PowerPoint presentations, text-only reports and Excel spreadsheets are among the least effective formats for understanding and presenting data, respondents said.

Big Data, Big Surprises: 83 percent have been surprised by what their data reveals. More than a third characterize data as overwhelming or anxiety-producing.
