Cambridge, Mass. – October 10, 2006 – AllurentTM, the Rich Internet Applications for Commerce company, today announced that it has partnered with Omniture (NASDAQ: OMTR) to help online retailers measure the real value of their online stores by providing improved analytics for RIAs. The integration of Allurent’s product suite with Omniture ActionSource™ will help online retailers measure and report on the rich media on their sites.
As rich media becomes an increasingly important way for retailers to differentiate their online stores and enhance the customer experience, it’s vital that retailers capture the ROI of these applications. Omniture ActionSource not only allows retailers to measure the effectiveness of rich media on their sites but also allows them to adjust and optimize online campaigns accordingly.
“Omniture ActionSource enables leading retailers to truly understand how RIAs can drive revenue, while significantly enhancing the customer experience in their online stores,” said Fumi Matsumoto, co-founder and CTO at Allurent. “Partnering with Omniture ensures that the performance of Allurent’s applications and the quality of the online customer experience is never compromised.”
Omniture ActionSource will integrate with Allurent’s suite of RIAs for commerce, including Allurent BUY. Allurent BUY, is an application for major online retailers that increases conversion rates and transaction sizes by providing easy to use rich features throughout a site starting with the ability to quickly view product details and select product configurations. Once in the checkout area, Allurent BUY consolidates all information relating to the merchandise and the customer’s personal information on one page, ensuring that all details remain accessible throughout the entire checkout process. This makes order verification easy and painless for the customer, while eliminating the possibility of losing information, since the customer never has to leave the page they are on. Omniture ActionSource enables retailers to track these conversion improvements achieved using BUY, allowing retailers to better understand their customers and optimize their online experience.
“While websites that feature rich media offer online shoppers a more dynamic customer experience than straight HTML sites, retailers haven’t had an easy way to measure the effectiveness of Flash and Flex on their sites – until now,” said John Mellor, senior vice president, business development at Omniture. “Online retailers that will benefit the most from RIAs are those who are taking the necessary steps to measure and analyze the performance of these applications and the implications on their business on an ongoing basis.”
