The Missing Piece of the eBusiness Promotion Puzzle
eValid Home

Introduction
eValid is the missing link in the e-business promotion puzzle. eValid fills in the gaps (see diagram below) between past/retrospective and present analysis details from server side data (website analytics), by adding present and potential (future oriented) analysis capabilities. The diagram shows the flow of analytic information concerning a website, organized in terms that distinguish the kinds of information analyzed and the purposes to which the information is applied.
