LONDON, Sep 16, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Progress Software Corporation (NASDAQ: PRGS), a leading independent enterprise software provider that enables companies to be operationally responsive, announced today that it has worked with Adversitement, a full-service e-marketing consultancy specializing in web analytics and eMarketing intelligence, that has developed a new marketing platform, O2mc. O2mc selected Progress(R) Apama(R) Complex Event Processing (CEP) and Progress Sonic(R) Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) platforms to automate the way marketers monitor, analyze and use real-time information. O2mc improves the website experience and drives metrics that affect the bottom line.
Through the integration of Progress solutions, O2mc customers can gain immediate insight into targeted visitor behavior by applying the principles of quantitative analysis across their website. O2mc users can instantly change elements, such as keywords, in order to improve search engine optimization, cost per click, and the quality of leads generated from marketing campaigns. This enables O2mc users, or marketers, to more accurately and quickly change or personalize online content that enables them to better achieve their business goals.
Bob Nieme, CEO at Adversitement, explained: "We've been striving to improve our customers' experience and competitiveness in their adoption of web analytics. The O2mc online marketing platform, powered by Progress Software, enables us to deliver critical business information in real-time. The focus now is on the quality of the web visitor and not on the quantity of traffic hitting your website. By knowing more about a target's behavior, the better armed a marketer is to make subtle changes that improve a website's performance -- we are already seeing 30 percent improvements in customers' web performance."
O2mc uses the Progress Apama product to monitor the click data from across the platform in real-time and detect, for example, the effectiveness of keywords that drive traffic to customers' websites and the behavioral response of target audiences to marketing campaigns. By then triggering a message via the Sonic ESB product that routes the response to the application that will handle it -- for example, Google Adwords -- the solution will significantly reduce process cycle time in customers' web analytics functionality leading to up to 30 percent efficiency savings for O2mc's customers.
Dr. Giles Nelson, Deputy CTO at Progress Software, commented: "The use of CEP to handle multiple layers of data in real-time and provide tangible benefits to the e-commerce community is an innovative and exciting use of our technology. This is a great example of how best-in-class technology is beginning to impact on major growth areas like e-commerce, and has a significant impact on the effectiveness of its operations and offerings to marketing customers."
