Enhancing Site Experience Through Content Targeting, Freshness and Performance

Managed Content Targeting Interface Brings Online Control to the Marketer
Designed for the non-technical user, the Managed Content Targeting user interface is an intuitive, Web-based tool for quick and effective content targeting definition, management and deployment. By using the interface to create and deploy a set of rules across Mirror Image's global Content Access Point® (CAP) network, online content is easily delivered to site visitors based on specific logic (e.g., time of day, location or language). This user interface can also be used to deploy custom rules for execution across Mirror Image's adaptive network.

Content Freshness in a Click
Understanding a Web site is only as effective as its content; the new CustomerCenter Content Refresh tools make it a snap to purge old content and graphics to ensure up-to-date and reliable Web sites. By selecting specific URLs, the system automatically refreshes all associated objects and displays a message when the action is complete. The CustomerCenter also allows authorized Web managers to create, modify and delete Content Refresh events based on selected times.

Real-Time Performance Monitoring
Since an available site is just as important as online content, Mirror Image provides objective, real-time Performance Monitor statistics that help marketers ensure customers always receive continuous network uptime and optimized Web performance. This unique monitor displays average response times, in real-time, for global requests made to the Mirror Image network, broken down by geographical region.

"With its easy-to-use Web-based interface, our CustomerCenter provides enhanced content management features and real-time reporting that empowers non- technical users to manage, track and optimize site performance," said Bob Hammond, CTO at Mirror Image.
