Omniture Insgiht Certified Professional Analyst Training and Certification

I went through Omniture Insight Analyst Training.

Some of the topics covered in Omniture Insight Analyst training were:

• Omniture Insight Overview
• Introduction to Insight
• Client User Interface
• Dataset Schema
• Interpreting Selections
• Segment Creation in Insight
• Publishing Reports and Templates
• Metrics Creation
• Application Structure Customization
• Latency Tables
• The Filter Editor
• Detail Tables
• Path Browser
• Process Maps

After completion of the training and lab we have to appear for Insight certification which was 3Hrs long classroom test. It reminded me of my engineering 3Hrs long examinations. Exam was really tricky and was not as simple as I thought of. Since, it was classroom test so it’ll take 2-3 weeks for the results. My fingers are crossed for the results.

I found this training useful and interesting. The instructor was good and explained each topic in detail.

I was specifically interested in Regular expressions and Filter editor topics. I’ll try to post my learning’s and application of the tool in subsequent posts. This tool will really helpful to do in-depth analysis of your online/offline data. At present I don’t know any other web analytics tool having the same capabilities as Omniture Insight. We have do Unlimited segmentation, can get granular level of detail.

Path Browser is really cool feature you might be interested in using Insight. You can define metrics by your own. You can customize the tool. You can play around with it and can get amazing learning.

In my next posts I’ll try to explain about the features/capabilities of insight.

Keep smiling and happy Learning!

Starting next week, I am going to attend Omniture Insight training cum
certification. I am very excited to attend Omniture Insight course. This is going to be preferred tool for most of the Big Organizations in coming years. With Omniture Visual Science acquisition, Omniture launched this tool sometimes back and named it Omniture Insight or Insight. One tool using which you can slice and dice your data at a very granular level. I love segmentation and this tool helps me to do the level of segmentation I always wanted.

Omniture Insight is an interactive visual analysis and reporting application that provides real-time multi-dimensional metrics analysis, dynamic segmentation, advanced data visualization, and other adhoc analysis capabilities for business professionals, data analysts, and system architects and administrators.

This is going to be a 3 Days detail oriented course. I’ll update some of my learning of this tool in my next post. One of the key tutors from Omniture University was telling us that this certification is tough. Let’s see what will happen but I am quite confident to pass the examination.
