    "Our Coremetrics team was extraordinarily supportive during our transition from HBX," said Laura Sympson-Cornelius, Senior Web Analyst at The Thompson Group. "We have a high degree of confidence in their long term strategy, and appreciate that they''re as vested in our success as we are. We see Coremetrics as a partner and expect to be with them for the long term."

In addition, the company received the highest score in "Product Direction," a sub-category designed to showcase a vendor''s product strategy.

    "In the aftermath of Omniture''s announcement of plans to acquire Visual Sciences, it''s clear that companies using HBX analytics are facing a lot of uncertainty," said Joe Davis, CEO of Coremetrics. "We want to give them another option in terms of product migration, so they don''t feel backed into a corner. Coremetrics is easier to deploy and maintain, and provides more out of the box capabilities than any other option. We offer a smooth migration path, and are committed to making the transition a painless experience for HBX customers."
