Alain Llorens of XiTi, leader in website analysis and management:
"Within the urban community of Bordeaux, we have a historic university environment of considerable worth and quality.

Extract from: "Firefox blows out 18 candles and continues its transformation"
In the Internet age, months count as years. Firefox, the free browser offering an alternative to solutions from the giant Microsoft, is celebrating 18 months of development, and embarks on its adult years as an assured success. According to a study by XiTi Monitor, the target of 10% market share, announced in autumn 2004 by Firefox, was "easily exceeded more than six months ago. In a browser market where the crushing domination of Internet Explorer went uncontested for years, 2005 has undoubtedly confirmed the importance of the free browser from the Mozilla Foundation." In parallel, Microsoft's Internet Explorer has seen a significant fall over the last year. However, it still retains 77.2% of the market in Europe.

Extract from "XiTi, the winning logo among websites"
(...) This is a little red and yellow logo displayed on web pages audited by the free version of XiTi [more advanced paid-for versions do not require the logo to be displayed]. Over time, the company has dreamed up new services and can offer its clients 150 indicators. The most interesting aspect is that XiTi has never employed large traditional marketing campaigns to develop. It has offered its marker free of charge for its basic service. This type of viral marketing has worked well. The XiTi brand is seen 80 million times a day. (...)
Next year, it will approach sites written in English and Spanish. It is also thinking of offering its service in Asia.

By choosing the XiTi tool, the purchasing/sales platform centralises the analysis of its promotional campaigns in a single tool, which also acts as a reference for all the partners involved. (...)"One of the key criteria was to be able to handle all these partners through a portal, which was a feature offered by XiTi. Another factor: we wanted to know which sites our visitors were coming from and where they went after leaving ours, in order to identify our strengths and weaknesses in terms of navigation and user-friendliness," concludes Olivier Mathiot.

When you want to sell over the Internet, it helps to know who is inviting themselves to your site (...). Why such a development? Because web users are more and more fickle. To keep them, seduce them, hold their interest and make them want to buy and to come back, you need to know them and surprise them.
