Adam Greco recently wrote three articles about how you can embed business requirements into Adobe Analytics Workspaces ("Adobe Analytics Requirements and SDR in Workspace" I, II, and III) in order to help data consumers understand. His method goes all the way from "this is why we added eVarXY" to "78% of requirements are currently tracked … Continue reading A Standard Data Model for Requirements

Accessing Adobe I/O using Java
You might remember how, a couple of years ago, I was whining about how the authentication on the Reporting API was difficult. At the time, I wrote some Java code that was able to log into it, and I have been using that code, more or less unchanged, for a long time. Now, all APIs … Continue reading Accessing Adobe I/O using Java
Launch? Launch!
A recent, non-representative poll on twitter urged me to write introductory articles about Launch, the new tag management element in the Adobe Experience Could. I presume I won't be the only one, but I will abide anyway, and so here is the first of a bunch of articles on Launch. (It was really hard to … Continue reading Launch? Launch!
Using the Reporting API with Javascript
Bear with me here. This sounds like an experiment with no real-life value or application. But like the makers of 'Lost', I have a plan. Well, unlike them, I actually do.

SAINT Classifications – the Most Used Feature
Product Manager John Bates told the audience at the marketing Summit in Utah in March 2014 that Classifications is the most used feature in Adobe Analytics. I am not surprised. One reason is that Classifications allow you to aggregate data. Aggregation of data can make all the difference between a report that is unreadable and … Continue reading SAINT Classifications – the Most Used Feature
More APIs (Administration)
It's yet another "5 Tuesdays" month. Since I have ridden mobile to death by now, I thought I'd give you a very short post around my other favourite subject: APIs. Enterprise API Starting off, I'd like to point you to the Enterprise API Overview documentation on the Developer Connection. It has a nice graphic that … Continue reading More APIs (Administration)
SAINT API and API Explorer
Do you remember SAINT Classifications at all? When I wrote that article over a year ago, they were useful but slightly cumbersome. Manual upload of meta data was the norm. Only a few customers had opted for "SAINT Bernard". In the meantime, product management and engineering released two features: the Classifications Rule Builder and the … Continue reading SAINT API and API Explorer
