Analytics are quickly becoming a rising star for businesses today.
With the shear amount of information businesses receive on a daily basis continuing to increase it is nearly impossible for humans to process it all in a productive manner. Luckily for businesses, there are analytics for virtually every area of business today.
Below is a master list of analytic solutions from four different areas of businesses (Email, Social Media, Predictive and Operational analytics) to help companies achieve a more detailed understanding of themselves.
Email has long been a standard part of businesses marketing strategies. With the amount of email addresses on a company's email list continuously expanding, it is near impossible for marketers to keep track of how their campaigns are performing by hand.
Email analytics allows marketers to see how well (or poorly) their campaigns are performing with statistics like open and engagement rates.
A complete email solution, Litmus not only delivers analytics to businesses regarding their emails, like engagement and opens rates, but they also give businesses a preview of what their emails will look like on more than 30 devices.

With a rather simple design, AWeber gives businesses email analytics in a way that is easy to comprehend for even the most technically challenged employees.
By tracking which emails are garnering greater attention businesses can better tell what their consumers are interested in which can lead them to creating more engaging and interesting emails.
Social media has rapidly become a vital part of a business's daily operations. With it being the number one activity on the Internet, social media provides businesses an unprecedented way to instantly communicate with their consumers like never before.
Along with Facebook, Twitter has become a power player in the social media advertising circle. Topsy provides businesses a comprehensive look at both their own and their competitions' Twitter use.
From software giant Adobe, this offering has a wide range of features that accompany its social analytics capabilities including the ability to create customized contests, post to hundreds of social networks as well as trend monitoring.

It is impossible to predict the future with 100 percent accuracy but even a small glimpse into the future can help companies capitalize on opportunities they could have otherwise missed.

Every day is not going to be perfect. Businesses are going to have ups-and-downs. Now, whether those highs and lows are slight hiccups in sales or major problems, change is inevitable.
