Integration Will Deliver Comprehensive Service for Analytics
Customers Globally SAN DIEGO, Dec. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
WebSideStory, Inc. (NASDAQ:WSSI), a leading provider of customer
intelligence solutions, today announced the combination of its
analytics sales, service and marketing teams into one force for
2007. The Visual Sciences division and WebSideStory division will
be combined to create one sales force, one marketing organization
and one service organization globally, providing customers and
prospects with a one-stop shop for the entire range of the
company's web analytics and customer intelligence solutions. "Since
the merger of WebSideStory and Visual Sciences in February, our
technology teams have been working to integrate our products and
services," said Jim MacIntyre, CEO of WebSideStory. "Now with the
integration of the sales, service and marketing organizations, we
are streamlining our customer-facing operations and will be singly
focused on serving our rapidly growing global client base of more
than 1,500 enterprises." MacIntyre, a co-founder of Visual Sciences
and recently-appointed CEO of the entire company, has been leading
this integration effort since the spring. The combined sales force
will represent the industry's broadest line of analytic products,
ranging from on-demand web analytics to full multi-channel customer
intelligence. "Combined, we will have more than 130 sales and
service professionals serving our customers," said Chris Reid,
Senior Vice President of Sales. "And each one will harness the
firepower of our entire line of analytic products, including HBX
Analytics, Visual Site, Visual Call and the Visual Sciences
Platform." "The company will be more efficient and produce stronger
financial results by focusing these resources as one team," said
CFO Claire Long. "Our guidance for the full year 2007 assumed the
consolidation of these teams, so there are no changes to the
guidance we issued on November 6, 2006." Forward-Looking Statements
