Until recently, our jobs were relatively easy: to acquire + convert visitors on the website. But today a company’s presence on the Web goes far beyond just its website. It includes behaviorally targeted ads, personalized emails, mobile, and social applications. Not to mention offline interactions.
This multichannel world requires web analysts to learn many new tricks. But you don’t need to reinvent the wheel from scratch. By working together with your colleagues from the direct marketing discipline you can tap into sophisticated methods (and tools) that were developed over the past decade.

Unica makes all this work as follows First of all our web analytics solution (NetInsight) doesn’t just produce nice looking charts about web activity But provides insight into each individuals’ click patterns including referrers, search keywords, geo location, etc. NetInsight’s underlying web data mart feeds historical behavior information into Campaign and Interact for personalizing the dialog with individuals.
Something that we implied in the previous diagram was that the decisioning and personalization functionality can access both click data and customer data. For this purpose it would be necessary that our application can combine both sources of data. And that is exactly what we do. Here is a screenshot from our data access layer that shows how the application has access to both customer and visitor data tables in the database
Access to tables is one thing. But we still need to map the online visitor identity to the registered customer identifty. Specifically we need to map cookies or logins from the web analytics data to the registered customer information in the online CRM database In Unica’s Campaign product this is configured in a data flow chart paradigm. Here is a screenshot from an actual customer doing this. As you can see at the top, the cookies from NI are mapped to their CRM system
Now, that the mapping is in place, business users can create decisioning flow charts of how the web visitors should be segmented and how each segment should be treated. For example, a registered visitor that demonstrated interest in active vacations could receive the personalization on the web site that prioritize relevant site promotions. Delivered through Interact, each segment can be assigned multiple potential vacations that they are most likely interested in based on the ZONES on the web site (or individual pages) that they visited. Self-learning intelligence with Bayesian algorithms can further determine which specific vacation (or content) seems to be best performing for each segment. That is the item that is then automatically prioritized. Business rules in Campaign can also determine who should receive an email with what personalized content. That personalized email can be authored in eMessage. If the visitor is a group tour operator their purchase would be so valuable that a live sales call is warranted. So, business rules in Campaign can also determine who should receive a live outbound call from a sales person. That activity can be prioritized in the lead management system
If you remember, in stages 3 and 4 of the web analytics growth path companies are able to target each segment - or individual - with the most effective content. This requires going from agreggated web analytics to making web analytics personal. And In our opinion, that is where the real boost in business value comes. (check out our whitepaper) If this is your vision you will find that NetInsight is unparalleled for providing open access to visitor level interaction history so you can feed it into the targeting process. NetInsight does this through its built-in, Web data mart. This is a fully documented data store Our OP customers like that resides on standard relational databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, or others. But even our OD customers can get data feeds at any detail. By the way, it is at this point that customers most often appreciate that NI is available both OD and OP and that they can start OD and then later take all their data and reports OP when they are ready for integration into interactive marketing. So you got the visitor level data, how are you going to turn that into action?
