NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - June 02, 2015) - Ghostery today announced that it has launched TrackerMap® Live now available on the Oracle Marketing AppCloud. This new TrackerMap Live application helps reveal the interconnected ecosystem of code and third-party tags on a company's website, which are often embedded in services like ad networks, analytics tools, and social media widgets. The Oracle Marketing AppCloud is one of the industry's most comprehensive marketing technology ecosystems, offering Oracle customers a broad set of marketing apps and data services to extend and optimize their technology investments.
Oracle Marketing Cloud provides chief marketing officers (CMOs) and their teams with data-driven solutions to simplify marketing resources and deliver more personalized customer-centric experiences across every channel to attract and retain ideal customers. These modern marketing solutions connect cross-channel, content, and social marketing with data management and activation, for enterprise B2B and B2C marketers on a single system of record.
According to a recent Ghostery study, most company websites have approximately 70 different types of third-party code on their websites -- and they only know about one-third of them. Ghostery's TrackerMap Live enables Oracle Marketing Cloud customers to easily identify hidden tags that can compromise website performance, customer experience, data security, and search engine optimization. The application's live feature also enhances a marketer's ability to scan any page across the web in seconds, allowing insight into the data leakage or performance issues that third parties can cause. With TrackerMap, marketers can now have visibility into the tags loading onto their pages as well as their competitor's pages.
"The integration between Oracle Marketing Cloud and Ghostery TrackerMap Live addresses the convergence of two major business trends," said Larry Furr, VP of Product, Ghostery. "Consumers are increasingly concerned about how their data is being collected and used online. At the same time, the complexity and rapid growth of cloud-based digital marketing tools used by companies must be managed to ensure security and a positive online customer experience. Ghostery technology operates at the cutting edge of B2B and B2C website security and transparency. We're excited to bring this feature to Oracle Marketing Cloud and provide customers with added insights to the third parties that are loading on their pages."
"We are committed to helping marketers extend and optimize their technology investments by providing the industry's most comprehensive marketing technology ecosystem," said Ryan Buma, vice president, Oracle Marketing AppCloud. "With the addition of Ghostery, marketers using the Oracle Marketing AppCloud will now be able to see which vendors are working with your competitors."
Ghostery's TrackerMap Live specifically enables marketers and publishers the ability to:
- Protect Website Integrity: The Ghostery Marketing Cloud Management (MCM) TrackerMap Live is used to determine if vendors are placing unwanted or non-secure piggyback tags on your website without permission.
- Leverage third-party Auditing Capability: Use the Ghostery MCM TrackerMap Live to get clear auditing from a neutral third party vendor so there are proper checks and balances in place to protect your website, and customers' data.
- Automatically inside Oracle Data Management Platform: The Ghostery MCM TrackerMap Live is available within Oracle Data Management Platform. The product is built into the platform and may be leveraged immediately. No cost or action is required to get started.
- Added Competitive Intelligence: In addition to your own website, scan a competitor's site URLs to see which vendors they are working with across the ecosystem. MCM TrackerMap Live users may scan any given URL, regardless of whether or not the URL lives within their first party website domain.
Current customers can visit the Ghostery Topliners community site to install the new application and begin implementing TrackerMap Live immediately.
