OREM, Utah – Jan. 10, 2008 — Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business optimization software, today announced that LastMinuteTravel.com—a one-stop superstore for time-sensitive, deal-seeking travelers—has selected Omniture to replace its existing Coremetrics Web analytics solution.
LastMinuteTravel.com selected Omniture to gain more dynamic insight into customer behavior. Some of Omniture’s key differentiators include real-time data presentation and a demonstrated methodology for travel industry implementations based on experience with dozens of leading travel industry clients.
"The online travel industry is an extremely competitive space,” said Bryon Sheffield, executive vice president of global B2C development at Travel Holdings, Inc. “In order to effectively deliver dynamic travel packages to an increasingly sophisticated consumer base, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of what will best facilitate the needs of those consumers when they arrive at your site. We believe the partnership with Omniture will elevate that understanding at Last Minute Travel and our affiliated brands."
"According to Jupiter Research, 33 percent of all travel revenue was generated online in 2007, making the Internet the single most important vehicle for transacting business for the travel industry,” said Chris Harrington, president of worldwide sales and client services at Omniture. “By using Omniture, we believe Last Minute Travel will gain greater insights into the offers that resonate with their online audience. With this insight, Last Minute Travel will determine how to increase bookings, build visitor loyalty and better cater to their travelers’ needs."
