SCL Announces Enhanced Web Analytics Solution: Affinium NetInsight 7.1
Offers Real Time, Visual Exploration Analytical Capabilities - Helping Marketers Analyse and
Measure the Web 2.0 Customer Experience
Crawley, West Sussex - December 6, 2006 - Scientific Computers Ltd, UK, Eire and
Scandinavia distributor of Unica Affinium NetInsight, today announced the latest version of its
web analytics solution, Affinium NetInsight 7.1, from Unica®
Corporation (Nasdaq: UNCA). Innovative capabilities in Affinium NetInsight 7.1, including
real time visual exploration capabilities and optional geographic location information, will
enable online business marketers to optimise websites and Web 2.0 applications with broader, more
comprehensive analysis of customer behaviour.
Unica's enhanced web analytics software offers the industry’s most user-friendly, intuitive
graphical reporting and exploration capabilities. With Affinium NetInsight, marketers quickly
access detailed insight and analysis of website visitors’ online activity and create custom
reports with just the click of the mouse. The reporting allows companies to explore geographic,
demographic and other relevant segmentation of customers to enable smarter decision making and
marketing action. These visual exploration features provide a charted view of customers’
online activity across websites and even the most complex Web 2.0 Rich Internet Applications
(RIAs).
“With the evolution of Web 2.0 and the more interactive, networked nature of the online
customer experience, marketers are challenged with understanding their customers’
behaviours across various distributed channels on the internet,” said Akin Arikan, senior
segment manager, Unica Corporation. “Measuring click-throughs to a company’s website
is no longer a direct line and is insufficient for visitor-to-customer conversion metrics.
Unica’s web analytics solution continues to provide companies with new capabilities for
reporting, measuring and analysing customer data across the distributed internet channels, tying
customer behaviours across otherwise disconnected visit sessions and times. Perhaps even more
importantly, NetInsight’s unique open data warehouse and built-in connectivity means
internet behaviour is tied to other channels for richer customer profiles and
understanding.“
Affinium NetInsight is a turnkey web analytics solution that may be purchased as software or as a
hosted on-demand solution. The on-demand solution is fully compatible with Unica’s
on-premise solution, making it easy for organisations, as their needs change, to bring web
analytics in house or switch to on-demand applications without loss of data or configuration
customisation. In addition, NetInsight’s on-demand solution is the only on-demand solution
available that offers users the ability to use page-tags, log-files or any combination of data
collection.
Some of the capabilities of Affinium NetInsight 7.1 include:
1. Visual exploration of top click paths through websites and even complex Web 2.0 applications
to help web analysts identify usability bottlenecks that cause visitors to abandon sites.
2. Ability to recreate any individual visitor’s click path through Web 2.0 RIAs. This helps
web analysts optimise RIA usability by providing real life, complete use cases.
3. Visual, map-based, exploration of visitor segments from different worldwide geographic
locations (down to the city or postal code level) via Drill-Anywhere™ and
Trend-Anything™, enabling marketers to understand usage patterns by geographic,
demographic, and psychographic segments.
4. An enhanced overlay user interface that invites web analysts to define and overlay heat maps
for any visitor segment in an ad-hoc fashion for exploring the segment's behaviour.
5. An unprecedented richness of information about B-to-B site visitors that can be used to enrich
and prioritise sales leads, improve lead follow-up and increase cross-sales opportunities. When
coupled with Unica’s lead management solutions, marketers can automate intelligent
processes for converting website visits to sales opportunities.
6. A small-to-medium business edition of Unica's flagship web analytics solution that introduces
the industry's easiest to use “drag & drop” marketing user interface for
companies that have less than enterprise-class web visitor or intranet volumes.
Affinium NetInsight 7.1 is available this month. Existing customers of Unica's web analytics
solutions can take advantage of an automated upgrade from earlier versions. Available standalone
or as part of Unica's Affinium Suite for Enterprise Marketing Management, Unica's web analytics
solutions make it easier than comparable offerings for companies to turn insight into results -
maximising the value of internet and cross-channel marketing investments and optimising the
satisfaction of customers.
