Due to their high competency in developing inimitable products by amalgamating BI and data analytics in a completely web-based environment, Ideal Analytics paces leagues ahead of any direct competitors. The company\'s R&D wing is now a coveted group of technology leaders. Founded in 2010, IdealAnalytics initially launched their product in France and soon acquired VMware and Blackberry as their first two customers. Ideal Analytics is firmly founded on Indian soil with the firmest faith on Indian capability to serve the Global Market.

Though the company did not look to raise funds initially, they nurtured their brand solely based on the strength of their productdue to their limited capacity of marketing.In their initial days of inception, to manage cash flow, the company provided services and ploughed it back for product development. After launching cloud service additionally in 2011, Ideal Analytics spread out to UK, Australia, U.S., New Zealand, Mauritius and Malaysia. The company entered into Indian sales & marketing industry in 2013, and they knocked off the dominant market leaders in Indian healthcare industry.

Ideal has over ten OEMpartners, who integrate their products with Ideal Analytics.

The partners are engaged through continuous upload of updates and case studies in partner portal. The company excites them by driving revenues through Ideal Analytics\' prominent lead generation process.

Powerful Tools

Sticking to their technical strength, this four-year old startup built CRM, PRM & Lead generation software like Ideal Campaign, Ideal Channel & Ideal CRM for internal use. Yet, Ideal Campaign is being used by numerous giants including Amazon, Adobe, BOX and Kaspersky; with no marketing. As these software are so powerful, it enables the company to manage the whole ecosystem processes, partners, pipeline & marketing with a tiny team.

Being there since Ideal Analytics\' inception (almost ZERO attrition), their technical team is completely synchronized with company\'s vision. There is no manager in the flat organization and everybody follows the product map. The highly responsible and passionate people of Ideal Analytics have an average experience of 8-12 years that collectively makes their experience surpass several other organizations.

As the company offers solutions on premises, private & public cloud, they are capable of reaching global customers without big infrastructure and manage them remotely. In a short span of 3 years, the company has gained over 20 big-ticket enterprise customers globally and 2000 plus accounts in their cloud. Ideal Analytics\' free BI on cloud service for personal usage is highly appreciated.

Innovating strategies like offering free BI on cloud for personal usage have enabled Ideal Analytics to close two huge deals in the emerging market of Africa, even without setting foot there. As they are branching out globally with roots in Kolkata, Ideal Analytics is geared up for the road bumps ahead. Currently the company is restructuring, strategizing a proper channel and hiring best contributors, to be apace with their rapid progress.
As their product has already been certified by customers, the company has elaborate plans to grow rapidly to 13 more countries by end of this financial year, with the encouragement of a few VCs and PEs. Ideal Analytics is keen on strengthening their R&D with funds, as many strong features yet to be added are in the pipeline.
