GSI Commerce Expands Relationship With Omniture Into International Markets
New, Multi-Year Reseller Alliance Results From Successful Integration of Omniture Technology With the GSI Commerce Platform
OREM, UT -- December 05, 2006 -- Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMTR), a leading provider of online business optimization software, today announced it has expanded its domestic alliance with GSI Commerce (NASDAQ: GSIC), a leading provider of e-commerce solutions, to include international markets.
Since 2004, GSI Commerce has offered Omniture SiteCatalyst® as part of an integrated solution on the GSI domestic e-commerce platform. The new agreement expands the use of SiteCatalyst to include GSI's international platform.
Using Omniture's online business optimization platform, GSI's online partners can better measure, evaluate and manage the analytics captured from their Web store operations, which in turn can make the partners' online stores more efficient and gear them to provide a higher return on their investment. Using Omniture SiteCatalyst 13, the latest version of the company's Web analytics technology, the two companies have developed an analytics experience for measuring the Web shopping behavior of customers for GSI Commerce's online partners. The metrics, such as those associated with traffic, user segmentation and e-commerce conversion build a solid information base, help gauge the effectiveness of the e-commerce site design and layout, and can be used to affect changes that enhance and maximize the online shopping experience.
"We understand and share GSI's commitment to help their partners grow their online businesses," said Mark Dillon, vice president, channel sales for Omniture. "That shared focus resulted in an integrated solution that provides GSI's partners with an analytics experience that measures the Web shopping behavior of their customers. Our combined success in the domestic market has led us to expand this relationship and tie in with GSI's international efforts.
"This alliance reinforces an important part of GSI's value proposition, which is to continually enhance our e-commerce platform by integrating premium quality tools, applications and features that our partners can then use to grow their online businesses faster and more profitably than they could on their own," said Sameer Shamsuddin, vice president, GSI Commerce Product Development. "We're excited to expand our marketing alliance with Omniture beyond the domestic borders, particularly as they have advanced their Web analytics package to optimize the effectiveness of new Web 2.0 technologies, such as those associated with rich media and site search, areas that are important to us as we deploy Web 2.0 features on a growing number of our partners' Web stores."
GSI Commerce delivers e-commerce solutions to major retailers, brands, media companies and sports organizations in 11 retail categories, including apparel accessories and footwear, consumer electronics, home furnishings, appliances and tools, sporting goods and apparel, cosmetics and fragrances, personal care, music and video, jewelry, toys and video games, and baby products. The company provides these solutions through an integrated e-commerce platform, which is comprised of three components: core technology, a supporting infrastructure of fulfillment and customer care, and marketing services.
