Omniture is Realizing the Benefits of Its Acquisition Strategy as Newly Acquired Products Contribute to a 50 Percent Increase in Average Deal Size for New Customer Contracts
OREM, Utah — July 23, 2008 — Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business optimization software, today announced that it has reached several important milestones with regard to its acquisition strategy:
“We welcome our HBX customers to the Omniture community and are very pleased to see the positive response many have shown toward adopting SiteCatalyst,” said Josh James, CEO and co-founder of Omniture. “Our goal is to not only deliver products that scale with our customers as their business needs evolve, but also provide the support required to make individuals effective within their own organization. I’m grateful to our dedicated team of HBX migration experts who work hard to ensure that our customers transitioning to SiteCatalyst receive the direction they need to complete the process quickly and successfully. I’m also particularly proud of our organization bringing the Omniture-created and Omniture-acquired products and strategy together in a way that has led new customers to the Omniture platform to consume 50 percent more in their initial contract than a similar new customer would have consumed just one year ago.”
Of the companies that have initiated the migration from HBX to Omniture SiteCatalyst, more than 55 percent are already actively using the SiteCatalyst platform. In addition to taking advantage of Omniture’s ability to measure Web 2.0 technologies, HBX users are also switching to SiteCatalyst in order to leverage its integration with other Omniture products that provide, for example, automatic keyword bidding (Omniture SearchCenter™) and audience targeting (Omniture Test&Target;™).
Customer comments regarding the HBX-to-SiteCatalyst migration program:
“HBX provided great baseline reporting that provided a good foundation for site optimization decisions; moving over to the Omniture platform was a natural next step,” said Ken Cluff, VP Technology and co-founder at MyNewPlace.com. “In SiteCatalyst, we can not only continue to generate the reports our management is used to reviewing, but we can also import, manipulate and segment the data in new ways using Omniture Discover. We are confident the new insights we will gain from Omniture will allow us to better maximize the effectiveness of our online initiatives.”
“We help hundreds of clients around the country improve their Web site design and content management—and Omniture is a big part of helping us deliver performance results to our customers,” said Brian Bille, Internet marketing specialist at Bizzuka, Inc. “Moving to the Omniture platform increases our productivity substantially; we aren’t limited to templated reports and now have access to other integrated products within the Omniture suite—eliminating the need to build our own makeshift platform of marketing applications and allowing us to offer our clients comprehensive reporting on the results of our services.”
“Migrating to SiteCatalyst was a no-brainer,” said John Stansbury, director of analytics and testing for CreditCards.com. “We were able to continue working with an account manager whom we trusted and who understood our business, the analytical feature set expanded dramatically, and we were confident in a rapid time-to-market through Omniture’s Fusion implementation methodology. As much as we relied upon HBX and the insights it provided, we’re quickly becoming increasingly reliant on SiteCatalyst and Discover. Even more impressive than the software are the professionals with whom we have worked. In Omniture, we’ve found a partner rather than just a vendor.”
