KEYNOTES

Seeing the Forest AND the Trees: How NPR Can See Detail Behavior Data at Massive Scale to Drive Unprecedented Insight Imagine you are required to provide accurate analysis on the state of your organization, based on data cobbled together from hundreds of different web properties, all running a smattering of CMS’s and homegrown codebases, and all containing a wide mix of content types and structures. Add to that, your requirements are to report in aggregate while being able to drill down to groups of sites or even specific sites, and that all of those sites are independently run and operated (read: you don’t control that code). That’s the challenge faced by NPR Digital Services working with NPR stations across the country, and in this joint presentation with NPR, Cardinal Path will demonstrate how they were able to develop and deploy innovative technology to generate infinitely flexible, extremely robust, rapidly deployable and massively scalable GA code that delivers unprecedented benchmarking capabilities and insight into the operations of the network in the aggregate, by station, by content type, by region, by market, or by any other segment of interest.
