Share:
LEXINGTON, Mass., Dec. 10 -- The Star Tribune, the leading source of news and information in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, has selected the Gomez®ExperienceFirst(TM) platform to enhance the web experience it delivers to more than five million monthly unique visitors to its primary website, www.StarTribune.com.
A dynamic media organization, the Star Tribune will use several Gomez on-demand web application experience management services to strategically plan for, test, manage and continually enhance the web applications, content and services it delivers to site visitors. Gomez products to be used by the company include Active Network XF(TM), which provides page-level and transaction monitoring from 80+ globally-located Internet backbone nodes; and Actual Experience XF(TM), which measures performance from each site visitor's browser for a true picture of the end user experience.
In addition, the Star Tribune will standardize on Gomez's on-demand load testing product, Reality Load XF(TM), to test new applications before they are launched, thus providing more predictable end user experiences, even under peak traffic conditions.
"We are excited to partner with Gomez to aggressively manage the experience we deliver to each and every site visitor," said Jason Erdahl, Executive Director of Interactive Media. "Taken together, the Gomez platform and services will allow us to take a strategic, proactive approach to better predict, monitor and measure the user experience. We will also use Gomez to ensure that third-party content delivered on our site from a variety of sources measures up to the experience our content consumers expect from the Star Tribune."
