2010 report shows web analytics on the rise in Australia

Coremetrics launches new iPhone app, continues pursuit for leadership

Melbourne, 3 May 2010 – The recently released 2010 Australian Web Analytics Report, conducted by Bienalto (www.bienalto.com), shows a sharp increase in local businesses engaging web analytics companies to boost sales and conversion, with Coremetrics recording the strongest rise amongst its paid service peers. The company enjoyed a significant jump from 7th to the 4th most implemented web analytics solution in the country.

Kevin Mackin, Coremetrics' general manager for ANZ, commented on the results, "We are thrilled to see such a noteworthy increase in the uptake of Coremetrics, and web analytics generally, in the last 12 months. It's a clear indication that Australian businesses have a growing interest in utilising the web to increase sales. And whilst a free service may prove useful in the beginning, it seems many companies are adopting paid tools so they can extract more intelligent, in-depth data that they can own and trust, and therefore make more powerful marketing decisions."

Further cementing the organisation's dedication to the local market and in response to direct customer feedback, Coremetrics today launched Coremetrics for Mobile™, a free application available at the iPhone App Store. Coremetrics can now give marketers and business leaders access to real-time analytics information on the run whether they're using an iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry or Android device.

"Marketers are under tremendous pressure to understand what works and make quick adjustments to optimise the return on marketing dollars spent. To be successful, they need to revise and interpret data at any given time. With our app for iPhone, executives can make quick, on-the-spot adjustments no matter where they are, which means marketing dollars are going to be driven further and produce greater results," explains Kevin Mackin.

Available for free at the ITunes store, Coremetrics for Mobile™ features include:

  • Easy access: Leverage iPhone's intuitive interface to access all analytics metrics and use standard iPhone gestures to zoom in on critical performance areas.
  • Real-time site analysis: Take decisive actions by monitoring site metrics, articles, products, marketing programs, product sales and events.
