Analytics are what separate good websites from great digital experiences. Analytics give you the data that shows if a website is achieving its objectives. If it isn’t, analytics will indicate which elements should be changed to deliver the desired results.

Without quality analytics, closed loop marketing activities are almost impossible to execute effectively

Content from analytics integrations is aggregated on the CrownPeak Dashboard and available in the context of the authoring experience.

CrownPeak comes complete with an integrated translation management framework for multi-site and multi-language management. This framework allows content managers to identify a primary language and link it to one or more subordinate languages

When content in the primary language is modified, content owners of the subordinate languages are automatically notified so that they can make the necessary adjustments.

Regardless of the translation strategy, CrownPeak ensures content is continually managed within the defined workflow.
