Web Analytics Understanding website visitor behavior requires a broad set of data and analytics. Driven by the need to paint a more complete picture of visitor interaction, increase conversion rates, and deliver a more personalized and relevant user experience, eCommerce teams require fine-grained clickstream analysis. About Datameer Datameer’s end-to-end Big Data Discovery solution enables business users to discover insights in any data via wizard-based data integration, iterative point-and-click analytics, and drag-and-drop visualizations, regardless of the data type, size, or source. Optimized for big data analytical workloads, Datameer uses Hadoop for both storage and compute and can integrate with existing DW or BI solutions. Better analysis allows companies to drive personalized content delivery and determine the best performing and stickiest web pages on their sites and across multiple sites for more effective target marketing and optimized ad campaigns. Currently, these teams rely on IT to deliver the necessary infrastructure, provide access to relevant data, and ensure site performance which slows business overall. While traditional business intelligence solutions and packaged web analytics software such as Omniture provide canned reports and some data exploration capabilities, they operate as data silos. These systems have difficulty correlating clickstream data with transaction system records that hold customer’s interaction information such as purchases, account balance history, etc. It is also difficult to correlate profile or demographic information from social media or any third-party data when delivering reports or calculating KPIs (key performance indicators). These systems make standard, cookie-cutter assumptions on key aspects such as session timeouts and use cookies that introduce uncertainty into the numbers provided. As users become more sophisticated and generate more data, understanding the complete picture of their behavior requires data and analytics that go beyond simple clickstream analytics or packaged applications. To go further, web analytics should reach upstream into social media activity and referring sites that drive user traffic and also reach downstream into systems of record that measure the true business impact of website visits.

Better analysis allows companies to drive personalized content delivery and determine the best performing and stickiest web pages on their sites and across multiple sites for more effective target marketing and optimized ad campaigns.
