What is Webtrends?

Why measure the use of Webtrends?

To get the most out of your SharePoint environment, you need to know how it's being used and whether it's generating a return on your investment. Webtrends Analytics for SharePoint is specifically designed to understand the ins and outs of SharePoint and is used by leading companies around the world to measure user behavior and increase ROI.

Validate that SharePoint is delivering results

Making an investment in SharePoint can involve multiple teams and stakeholders, complex design, deployment, and training, and the migration of thousands of critical assets to the platform. With this commitment, it's important to know that you're performing as expected. With Webtrends Analytics for SharePoint, you can prove exactly how SharePoint is adding value to your organization through reports on traffic, content, engagement, and technology segmented by User or any user attribute (for example, Department, Location). With a variety of out-of-the-box reports, Webtrends offers the leading measurement solution for SharePoint, providing user-specific metrics to measure ROI.

Reduce support calls to your departments

Encourage employees to contribute and use the self-service Shared Knowledge Store to learn from others facing similar challenges and without always having to contact HR or IT over the phone for answers to simple questions. With web trends, you can run reports on the search experience to determine which search terms are being entered and whether the results were returned or not found. If your users consistently get relevant results when searching your repository, the solution should provide value and decrease your support calls. Search terms that return no results indicate that content needs to be added for this topic.

Ensuring workforce has the latest messages

Your expanding and widely dispersed workforce needs to know the latest corporate and marketing communications strategy, policy, or plan. With Webtrends Analytics for SharePoint, you can ensure that your workforce is consuming or engaging your content and messaging. Generate reports on consumption by content, user, location, department, marked areas of emails and newsletters. Having all of this information can help you control inconsistent marketing and communication practices across the organization.

Prepare for reinvestment and upgrades

With each successive release of SharePoint, Microsoft has extended its core capabilities and performance impact. Web trends can help you base SharePoint performance, identify preferred content, processes, and design features, and set clear objectives before and during migration to the next release. You can even run reports in hybrid or mixed deployment environments. Webtrends is a preferred analytics solution from Microsoft, built from the ground up for the nuances of measuring the performance of your SharePoint environment.
