sonalization engines. What initiated the creation of this product?
Pivotal had strong offerings in both the operational and analytic demand chain network space. One emerging area of need was analyzing and integrating the strategic performance of the Web channel. Now, we can segment them based on business rules and theme tracking to understand what drives success. How does your new product compare to standard analytical CRM solutions?
Digital Intelligence is a Web behavioral analytics tool. The information can be used in conjunction with other marketing analytics products to provide a complete picture across all of your marketing channels. Standard analytics tools typically do not include Web behavior in their analysis. How does Digital Intelligence interpret customer behavior?
(It) gathers the content stream of information that passes between the visitor and the Web site. We look for specific HTML text streams so we know what activities the visitor is doing, not simply which pages he is visiting.
The content stream is passed through a series of models. Just as each person in marketing is interested in a different audience, each model coincides with the interests of your business users. For example, one marketing professional may have responsibility for their company's relationship with Microsoft. He is interested in knowing how frequently the Microsoft relationship message is exposed to all visitors of the Web site, except their own employees. A business model would be established to monitor the exposure to this theme.
You can dissect and report on this information utilizing the Pivotal Intelligence Engine. The data mart created via these models can be analyzed to reveal information about your visitors.
