Satama Interactive Awarded Accreditation for Google Analytics

June 7th 2006

Google has agreed that Satama Interactive could become a channel
partner for Google Analytics. In April 2006 the contract with Google
was won by Aboavista Oy, a recently acquired subsidiary of Satama
Interactive. Google allowed Satama to take over the deal under the
terms agreed by Aboavista back in April. This means that Satama are
now authorized by Google to support, consult and implement Google
Analytics on their clients’ websites as well as sell licenses and
support for other Google software.

Satama Metrics Team will add Google Analytics to their portfolio of
tools and continue to improve their knowledge base around web
analytics in general. Satama currently consults with HBX
(WebSideStory), Omniture, CoreMetrics, TNS Metrix, WTM, WebTrends,
IRIS Metrics, IndexTools and Speed-Trap.

Steve Jackson, eBusiness Analyst at Satama and former CEO of
Aboavista said:
"Google broke the mold when they gave away Google Analytics for free.
We finally have a feature-rich, enterprise-level, audited tool which
can be used to measure on-site visitor behavior without any cost. It
allows companies that before perhaps only concentrated on visitor and
page view metrics for the purposes of attracting advertisers to learn
how to utilize web analytics to achieve business objectives. It’s
very difficult to become a Google Analytics channel partner. Satama
are the only company in Finland with this accreditation and one of
only two in the entire Nordic region"

Because of the understandably high demand for Google Analytics there
is a long waiting list to obtain an account. Satama have however been
given access keys so that they can set-up priority customer accounts
the same day as needed.

Satama are keen to point out that while the Google Analytics
accreditation is very important to them that they remain fully
independent of web analytic vendors. Satama will continue to support,
consult and implement all the systems they currently work with.
