What Skytide Customers Are Saying:
"We are excited to be working with Skytide to provide analytics for our online broadcast of the Daytime Creative Arts & Entertainment Emmy® Awards. This type of reporting is vital to online broadcasters and enables us to gain valuable insights as to how online viewers participate in our webcasts and how we can generate revenue from our content.”
Dave Gardy, CEO,

“The speed at which Skytide deployed the solution was phenomenal. Within a few weeks, the full reporting system was up-and-running. Now, we not only can track the accurate number of viewers watching any individual webcast, but we can drill-down to geographic areas to track regional statistics. This lets us show our customers that their events are reaching the right audience.” Robert Feldman, President, Total Webcasting
“GridNetworks Internet Television service generates and collects high volumes of user data that go beyond standard web server logging, recording many dimensions of a consumer’s Internet viewing experience. This data contains critical information on user behavior, network traffic patterns, historical trends, and quality of service – key metrics for ad-based content monetization. The combined solution from Skytide and Corda Technologies will enable our media customers to quickly retrieve valuable information, analyze and manipulate their data within our customer portal, and enable GridNetworks to offer value-added analysis and reporting as a key content component of our HD video delivery service.”
Mark Madsen, Product Unit Manager, GridNetworks, Inc.
“Protecting Sasol’s numerous IP entities is critical. As we add up to 30 new innovations every month, Skytide will provide income-generation analysis of our IP processes while reducing potential IP risks.”
Morné Barradas, IP Patent Attorney, Sasol
"We were having a very hard time creating call segmentation reports for our clients' outbound campaigns. the reports were based on three sources of data. A traditional BI systenm would require us to create and populate a datamart, build an analyticsl model, and then complete the actual analysis and reports — a process that typically takes several months. Skytide accomplished the same thing in only a few days. I don't know of any business inelligence software vendor who can do that."
CIO, A Global Call Center Outsourcer
What Analysts Are Saying:
“Traditional Business Intelligence solutions lack the ability to deliver dynamic, real-time information on very large heterogeneous data sets. A new generation of business analytics, such as the Skytide Analytical Platform™, will allow companies to bridge these high volumes of structured and unstructured data sets with speed and power for on-the-fly information without the overhead of a data warehouse.”
Dennis Drogseth, VP,
Enterprise Management Associates (EMA)
"The way in which Skytide deals with data makes it well suited to handling extremely large volumes of diverse data formats. By linking directly to the data sources, Skytide eliminates the need for a data warehouse. Data is then automatically aggregated, summarized and correlated across all data sources, making possible multidimensional, historical views of the data. In-memory processing speeds queries based on even the largest data sets. These functions allows Skytide customers to build highly segmented trend analysis across data sets that provide deep insight into customer behavior, quality of service, network performance, online content access, etc.
In this manner, a content-delivery network (CDN) can demonstrate for its customers the actual performance details of all content objects transmitted by customer or segment; CDN customers can track performance across multiple CDN providers; and individual organizations delivering content across their own networks could segment content delivery by region, content type or even individual user."
