<p><span style="color: #000000;">Millersoft Ltd has worked extensively with some of the UK&#8217;s biggest online retailers using Google Analytics to,</span></p>
<ul>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">Configure website goals and funnels to track progress through your website and identify friction points</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">Configure e-commerce tracking for sales analysis</span></em></li>

</ul>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Millersoft Ltd can also help automate the extraction of Google Analytics data and import that data into your current reporting system (eg JasperSoft, Pentaho, Palo) to provide a 360 view of your company. This allows the comparison of web stats along side other business measures, meaning:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000000;"><em>Customer Segmentation analysis can then show where your top customers are coming from and what they are purchasing</em></span></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">Product delivery times can be calculated from the moment an order is placed</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">Sales can be compared against cancellations</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">Sales can be compared against available stock</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">New/Repeat customers can be identified and targeted with different offers</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">High value repeat customers can be measured and worshipped</span></em></li>
<li><em><span style="color: #000000;">Profit and cost of sales can be calculated</span></em></li>
</ul>
<p>If your company wants to benefit from integrated analysis then call us.</p>

Deciding  which licence, vendor, version to pick can take longer than the problem you are trying to solve.</p>
<p>Thankfully, help is at hand as Millersoft Ltd can take your requirements and use our broad Business Intelligence experience to narrow down the options.</p>
<p>Millersoft Ltd  can prepare working prototypes with your own data, demonstrating which open source choices work best for your business. For example, we could configure both JasperSoft and Pentaho to work against your company data held in Infobright or MySql. We can even compare the compare commercial and open source variants of those products and package everything up in a VMWare instance for ease of installation.</p>

The more complex the ETL, the harder reconciliation becomes and the greater the risk that managers are basing decisions on duff data.</p>
<p>Creating reporting data marts from operational systems is seldom simple, especially with all those slowly changing dimensions to consider. This complexity can be reduced  through judicious database selection, tool choice and a clear understanding of end-user requirements.</p>
<p>Millersoft Ltd can help streamline your integration strategy; loading data faster, making queries respond and reducing ongoing maintenance.</p>
