3 types of Analytic`s Organisations

Agency

Side

Vendor Client

Side

Agency-side - Pros: Wide variety of experience with different clients, tools and business models. Can be a fast-paced environment, which many thrive on. - Cons: Business knowledge may not be as deep as it would be working client-side, since attention is often split across multiple clients.

Web Analytics vendor For example Adobe Omniture, Webtrends, GA. - Pros: Ability to influence product development. Deep knowledge of one tool, varied experience spanning many clients and sectors. - Cons: Knowledge may not be as deep as when working on the client-side. Sometime only involved in initial implementation and not full project. Some vendor have unique way of doing things since they are focusing on one product and how they tackle analytics challenges.

Client-side Pros: Opportunity to really contribute to and deep drive analytics in an organisation and develop a team. Cons: Experience may be narrower, one business model and one or two tools.

Note: The Size of Agency or Client also a factor in role/tasks.
