"We are very excited to announce the launch of comScore Digital Analytix,
the evolution of web analytics," said Dr. Magid Abraham, comScore President &
CEO. "This groundbreaking solution solves two of the most prevalent issues
with web analytics today. While many web analytics tools use aggregated data
sets that frequently handcuff the user from running the forensic analysis
they desire, our Atomix technology maintains an unaggregated data set that
can be manipulated from its raw form to address any business question.
Secondly, we are introducing a new dimension to the web analytics universe
with audience demographics so that users can understand site-level activity
within the context of a broader marketing strategy. We believe these
advantages combine for a truly unique offering that will deliver
cross-organizational insights that help businesses optimize their digital
strategies."
comScore Digital Analytix offers the following benefits: - Flexible reporting architecture - Fast reporting and granular insights - Easy to implement for publishers (with the ability to leverage their existing Media Metrix UDM tag for Digital Analytix reporting) - Campaign-level insights - Cross-platform measurement - Sleek, new, user-friendly interface
The Evolution of Web Analytics into a More Unified View of Behavior
comScore Digital Analytix leverages the product architecture and
expertise of Nedstat, a leading European web analytics company acquired by
comScore in 2010, and its award-winning flagship product Sitestat. Both the
Nedstat and Sitestat brands will immediately be absorbed into the comScore
brand architecture.
comScore is also bringing its unique expertise in audience measurement to
the web analytics universe in developing a breakthrough technology that
combines deep analytics insight with audience profiling. This advancement
will enable digital marketers to map the behaviors occurring across their
sites to the audience demographics of the people engaging in these
activities. This link will enhance publishers' abilities to tie higher level
marketing strategies to actual conversion, providing a truly unified view of
digital consumer behavior.

The following Nedstat Sitestat clients, who are migrating to the new
Digital Analytix platform, voiced their support for the evolutionary product:
