Omniture, with a long tradition of innovating to meet the real-world needs of its customers, develops and markets SiteCatalyst, an enterprise-level Web analytics tool used by the world's leading online marketers including 3 of the top 5 Fortune-ranked corporations. Omniture, which recently reported that the first quarter of 2004 represents the 12th consecutive quarter of growth, and sixth consecutive quarter the company has been profitable, today announced the funding will act as a catalyst to accelerate training and technology development, sales and marketing efforts and to support infrastructure investment warranted by a burgeoning client base. "We were immediately impressed by the Omniture team, the sustainability of their business model and the loyalty of their marquee client base," said Mark Gorenberg of Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.

Their ability to execute on that vision, coupled with their growth and profitability record, indicates great potential for sustainable success." "Hummer Winblad's investment in Omniture is a testament to our hard work and the company's commitment to our customers," said Josh James, CEO and co-founder of Omniture. "It also represents a belief in Omniture's position as a driving force in the marketing intelligence industry. We're pleased to receive the support of Hummer Winblad and look forward to the opportunities for strategic expansion that this funding will afford the company."
