Google Presents Urchin 5 - On-Premise Web Analytics Software

On Friday, 1st February, Google released in beta an upgraded version of it on premises Web analytics software called Urchin Software. This software is developed for those who do not prefer to use the online analytics services provided by the search engine. Urchin Software has similar scope as Google Analytics. However, it is programmed to run on an organisation's server, as per Google. As of now, Urchin Software is just available for evaluation purposes and it is not to be used for production purposes as yet.

Urchin Software is prepared for the organisations that have their content behind a firewall or impose restrictions against using an online service. This is similar to the predecessor Urchin 5. The other uses of Urchin software, as per Google, would be for performing ad hoc historical processing, storing Web analytics on the local servers and for collecting data for third party audits.
