through Online Shopping Feeds using Integrated Business Optimization Platform


OREM, Utah and SEATTLE - September 18, 2007 -- Omniture, Inc. (NASDAQ:OMTR), a leading provider of online business optimization software, and Mercent, a provider of online marketing technology and services for retail merchants, today announced Mercent’s integration with the Omniture Genesis Network. Mercent has integrated its data feed marketing solutions with Omniture’s online business optimization platform, helping retail merchants gain and apply more actionable data to advertising campaigns across multiple online channels.

Omniture Genesis is a solution designed for business users to automate the integration of marketing applications into the Omniture Online Business Optimization platform. Using an intuitive “Plug and Play” interface, Omniture Genesis reduces the complexity of measuring online marketing campaigns and increases results by providing one standard view across all marketing initiatives.

Leading online retailers including Benefit Cosmetics are driving online revenues, profit margins, and return on advertising spend through Mercent’s network of online shopping channels using the integrated technology. With Mercent and the Omniture Genesis Open Transaction Framework, Omniture retail industry customers can extend the value of their existing Omniture collection tags and actionable Omniture data to promote the right products and merchandising offers in the right online channels.

"Mercent’s seamless integration with Omniture SiteCatalyst through Genesis provides another opportunity to extend and take action on our Omniture data," said Osh O’Crowley, CIO at Benefit Cosmetics. "Mercent makes it easy to maximize return-on-ad-spend for every online shopping channel and every product in our catalog."

Mercent’s integration with the Omniture Genesis Platform provides retail merchants an effective way to promote and sell products to more than 150 million shoppers across more than 50 leading shopping portals, marketplaces, and affiliate networks. It consolidates the management of online shopping feeds as well as automating CPC bids, product assortments and category management. This not only reduces management time, but also gives retailers the visibility to easily determine which online channels deliver the best ROI. By leveraging key features of the integrated solution, retail merchants can automatically optimize marketing performance to key performance indicators (KPIs) such as SKU-level profitability and inventory velocity with minimal effort.

"With Mercent joining the Omniture Genesis Network, our mutual customers will benefit from the close integration between Mercent retail solutions and Omniture’s online business optimization platform," said John Mellor, senior vice president, business development and corporate strategy. "By bringing our marketing environments together, we are not only saving our customers from manually integrating our respective products, but we are providing online retailers with a single view into their customer data and online campaigns."

Key features of Mercent’s online marketing platform include:
