Over the years Online Schools used only one analytics software, the free-to-use program, Google Analytics. As the domain grew, we required a lot more out of our metrics software and found Google Analytics to be lacking in many areas we relied on the most. Upon being introduced to Piwik, we instantly fell in love with this new open-source analytics program. It took less than 5 minutes to install on our own server (where all the data is kept as well) and we were up and running, moving widgets around and customizing our user interface with ease. After installing some simple plugins, we realized Piwik is in an entirely different league than Google Analytics. Also, unlike the Google product, our data is stored on our own private server, not anyone else's.

We pledge support for the open source analytics software and find Piwik to be arguably the best product out there for webmasters who need in-depth, real time reporting. Online Schools will continue to bolster our relationship with Piwik's developers, in hopes to craft the finest web metrics software out there.
