Posted Jul 02, 2004
Customer Adoption, Momentum & Executive Vision are Highlights for Omniture

OREM, Utah (July 2, 2004) Omniture, the leading provider of adaptable, next-generation web analytics to large, complex websites, today announced that it was among the select companies that Forrester invited to participate in its June 2004 Forrester Wave™ report, “Selecting a B2C Site Analytics Product.” The report evaluates how web analytics vendors serve marketing megasites. In this evaluation, Omniture was cited as a leader in overall “Selecting a B2C Site Analytics Product.” The findings were based on Omniture’s current offering in the space—its award-winning SiteCatalyst product; the company’s marketing and technical strategy; and Omniture’s market presence, based on financial health, installed base and partnerships.

The Forrester Wave is a research graphic built on an open methodology and a straightforward algorithm that exposes vendor scores, key attributes and weightings in an interactive spreadsheet. The Forrester Wave spreadsheet and scorecards are available online at www.forrester.com.

In addition to scores of 3.9 for product capabilities and 3.3 for strategy, Omniture’s score in the Market Presence category was notably higher than that of competing products. This category evaluates the companies’ influence in the market—and likelihood of exerting that influence in the future—including financial health, installed base, marketing partnerships, and geographic reach. Over the past 12 months, Omniture has experienced record customer adoption and continues to own the highest customer retention rate in the industry.
