(NASDAQ:WSSI), a leading provider of customer intelligence solutions, today announced the combination of its analytics sales, service and marketing teams into one force for 2007. The Visual Sciences division and WebSideStory division will be combined to create one sales force, one marketing organization and one service organization globally, providing customers and prospects with a one-stop shop for the entire range of the company's web analytics and customer intelligence solutions. "Since the merger of WebSideStory and Visual Sciences in February, our technology teams have been working to integrate our products and services," said Jim MacIntyre, CEO of WebSideStory. "Now with the integration of the sales, service and marketing organizations, we are streamlining our customer-facing operations and will be singly focused on serving our rapidly growing global client base of more than 1,500 enterprises." MacIntyre, a co-founder of Visual Sciences and recently-appointed CEO of the entire company, has been leading this integration effort since the spring. The combined sales force will represent the industry's broadest line of analytic products, ranging from on-demand web analytics to full multi-channel customer intelligence. "Combined, we will have more than 130 sales and service professionals serving our customers," said Chris Reid, Senior Vice President of Sales. "And each one will harness the firepower of our entire line of analytic products, including HBX Analytics, Visual Site, Visual Call and the Visual Sciences Platform." "The company will be more efficient and produce stronger financial results by focusing these resources as one team," said CFO Claire Long. "Our guidance for the full year 2007 assumed the consolidation of these teams, so there are no changes to the guidance we issued on November 6, 2006."
