HBX to SiteCatalyst Transition
By VaBeachKevin | January 18, 2008
So now its official. Visual Sciences is now gone, and they are now Omniture. Many Visual Sciences customers are now struck with what to do. Should they stick with the HBX product they have been using for some time now, or make that leap and jump in with SiteCatalyst. For us it was not a difficult decision. As a matter of fact, we have been looking into Omniture for a few months now, long before Omniture agreed to acquire Visual Sciences. So for me it was an easy decision.
So we signed up earlier this week, and have some implementation training scheduled for next week. They claim to have everything figured out to import all of our historical data, so we will see how that goes. We have been HBX customers since mid 2005 so there is tons of data I don’t want to lose.
One thing that concerns me with the transition is that I want to switch from using a third party cookie with HBX to start using a first party cookie with SiteCatalyst. Now if we had a single site, not a problem. But I have over 70 different site’s that I am going to be implementing code on. Which is that many different subdomains that need to be mapped and that much more work that needs to be done (well requested to be done from my systems folks). We will see how it goes.
Now should I keep using my Visual Sciences zipper portfolio that they sent me for Christmas? I think I will until Omniture sends me a new one.
