Appfluent provides a comprehensive software solution for managing enterprise BI and data warehouse deployments. Integrated with existing front-end reporting tools from Business Objects and Cognos, Appfluent's software non-disruptively collects and analyzes every query generated by application users and provides detailed usage analysis over time for the entire IT organization. Appfluent's usage analytics can help resolve performance issues, provide efficient data management and mitigate regulatory risk.

Our expert panel was impressed with Appfluent's innovation and usefulness. One judge noted that it "is the first and only vendor to provide insight into how users interact with applications and data over time. The Appfluent Product Suite helps optimize query performance, clean up and consolidate data and provide an efficient solution for compliance auditing. As systems get more complex and need to be more reliable, usage information by user is essential for meeting expectations."

List pricing for the Appfluent Product Suite is $75,000, which includes the monitoring of one database. Each additional database is $7,500. For example, list pricing for a customer with one Appfluent server and three databases to monitor would be $90,000. With this in mind, the average sales price for the Appfluent Product Suite is $150,000.

Congratulations to Appfluent for earning the bronze award in this year's contest!
