		<description>I agree, so much money is spent on analytics software and not enough on consultants to analyze and take actions based on the data. You might be better of employing a talented analyst and using a free tool like Google Analytics.</description>

		<description>Hi Bryan,

I could not agree more and for some reason I ended up doing a presentation on the matter in Amsterdam before reading this post – arrgh! (..as in - you have a superb  way of presenting it) :-)

I definitely believe AND experience (me being a Vendor) that a lot of organisations start out with the TOOL. However; we have seen lately that organisations, at least to some extent, have prepared and defined KPI’s beforehand and use that as part of their tool selection process. I am not saying this is where the industry should be, but I actually think we are moving in the right direction. 

Great post!!

(which I linked back to from my presentation)

Cheers
Dennis

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Think of web analytics as accounting for the Web. Most companies would go out of business (or be unhappily popular with the IRS) if they looked for talent and disregarded standard accounting processes. When everyone is....

Brilliantly captured. I concur completely.
