A few questions to the audience

How many have received direct feedback from your end-users this year?


What is Analytics?





Google Trends data


Google Trends data continued






What is “application analytics”?

Introduction through the history of Telerik Analytics


EQATEC: our problem back in 2008

Did our users like the product?

Limited information sources: Support questions

The occasional “fan” email

Basically we knew nothing – so what to do?


2008: application analytics v. 0.1

Red: usage (app execution) Blue: downloads Yellow: registrations

“F5 addictiveness”

Little information but much better than nothing


2009: A new analytics market?

Nov 2005: Google Analytics Very few did application

analytics for thick clients So we decided to fill the gap


Feb 2013 – Telerik acquires EQATEC


2015: Telerik Analytics today

HTML5

Kendo UI controls


Dec 2014 – Progress acquires Telerik


2015: PDSOE 11.5


PDSOE & Telerik Analytics

Time for a demo


Ask yourself a few question…

What do you personally know about your end-users and customers?

Facts?

Second-hand information?

Gut-feelings?


Customer Case Study

One of the World’s leading hearing aid manufacturer

Monitoring 93,000 hearing clinic PC apps

Before Telerik Analytics

Planned to reimplement a 75 man year legacy application

With Telerik Analytics

Exact feature usage measurements uncovered that 25% of application was very seldom used

Result:

25% of a 75 man year project eliminated

$3.4 million (US) in savings


Modernization – two questions

How to modernize?

EMEAPUG Challenge 2015 hopefully has provided you with many good suggestions and shared experience.

What to modernize?

Everything? Probably quite expensive…

Which parts then? Use Telerik Analytics to

measure what is most used Start with those parts


How can you try Analytics?
