The immediate benefit is to the joint clients of the Digitaria and WebSideStory. Due to the certification, Digitaria has specific access to data collected by WebSideStory and can run analytics on how to better merchandise a site. Digitaria is in the process of engaging other analytic firms to pursue certification or other alliance programs.
Overall, Mr. Khabie said the move helps customers better account for their online spending and understand their own customers’ needs.
“We are allowing our customers to get valuable data about their customers,” he said.
