“Protecting Online Revenue through Web Performance Testing”

DETROIT September 9, 2009

Gomez, Inc. (www.gomez.com), the leader in Web application experience management, today announced a Webinar featuring guest speaker IDC analyst Melinda Ballou that will equip business and IT professionals for success when launching new Web applications and online marketing campaigns, deploying new infrastructure, or preparing for seasonal Web traffic spikes.

When: Thursday, September 24, 1:00 PM E.D.T.

Presenters: Melinda Ballou, Program Director for Application Life-Cycle Management Research, IDC and Imad Mouline, CTO, Gomez, Inc.

Who Should Attend: Line of business and ecommerce managers, interactive marketing and brand managers, project managers and IT operations executives.

What: Ebusiness success depends on the ability to deliver quality Web experiences, however 65 percent of applications are not properly load tested prior to launch1 resulting in lost revenue, increased support costs and brand damage. This complimentary Webinar will discuss:

  • Challenges and best practices for effective Web performance testing and quality life-cycle management for today’s rich and complex applications.
  • The impact of emerging Web technologies like Rich Internet Applications, virtualization, cloud computing and Web 2.0 on the end-user experience.
  • A new approach for Web performance and load testing that is easy to use, delivered on-demand, and enables you to find and fix problems before they impact customers.

Why: Web application performance directly impacts a business’ bottom line:

  • Microsoft Bing reported that a two second slowdown decreased revenue per user by 4.3 percent2.
  • Shopzilla improved performance from seven seconds to two seconds, generating a 7-12 percent increase in revenue, and a 50 percent reduction in hardware costs3.
