Visual Sciences, the leading provider of real-time visual analysis software and services, including Visual Site, announced today that it received the top ranking of any vendor in "Overall Business Value" in the new JupiterResearch "Web Analytics Spending, Staffing and Vendor Selection" research report published on October 27, 2004. The "Overall Business Value" evaluation criteria used by JupiterResearch included reference customer satisfaction, usability of application, quality and availability, integration capabilities, price-to-feature ratio, quality of services, self-service ability, price predictability and transparency, and customer-support-to-client ratios. JupiterResearch's report considered the top fourteen (14) Web Analytics vendors. Visual Sciences ranked highest in "Overall Business Value." JupiterResearch also gave Visual Sciences its top score in "Breadth of Functionality" where evaluation criteria included the number of features currently "in product," ability to scale, number and value of core features, number and value of useful features, availability of advanced features, availability of service offerings, deployment options, availability of training offerings and account management offerings. The JupiterResearch report further commented that "Visual Sciences and its measurement and reporting technology are significantly advanced, compared with other vendors, especially in terms of data integration, reporting and visualization capabilities." Visual Sciences scored in the "medium" quadrant of the JupiterResearch Vendor Constellation in "Market Suitability," the third major evaluation criteria category. Market Suitability was defined in the research report as "penetration into high-volume/high-visibility accounts, market tenure and appropriate industry partnerships." Of the top-ranked vendors in the report, Visual Sciences is the vendor with the least market tenure, having begun delivery of its products in 2002. According to CEO Jim MacIntyre, Visual Sciences "is pleased to progress to a medium ranking in 'Market Suitability' as defined by the report's methodology within its first two years of delivering Visual Site to the market." Over those two years, more than twenty-five (25) Fortune 1000 and U.S. Government enterprise clients and more than one hundred (100) Internet properties have competitively selected Visual Sciences over other companies compared in the report, after significant analysis, testing and due diligence. "Our leadership position in 'Overall Business Value' and 'Breadth of Functionality' as reported in the JupiterResearch Web Analytics Vendor Constellation confirms for the broader market what our world-class clients have known confidentially for the last two years," said MacIntyre. "Visual Site is the next generation of Web Analytics, particularly for those companies with Web Analytics experience gained from the use of previously available software and ASP services, as well as for those with a true need to turn their Web Analytics investment into business value." Visual Site delivers real-time intelligence about the use and performance of large and complex Internet sites, properties, portals, services and systems.
