In this release we introduced the "silent login" feature for ABB employees on abb.com. This feature may have intermittent problems, i.e. it may not work at all times for all users (the user will get a "we are sorry" error message). If this happens, you can always use the "manual" login (type in e-mail address and password) instead.

The reason to the problem are clock synchronization issues between servers. We did not experience these problems in our testing and development environments, but discovered now that there may be problems in the production environment. We are working on the issue and trying to find a solution as soon as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience.

abb.com server upgrade

2009-01-24T14:43:00.002+02:00

The servers running abb.com and the country sites are being upgraded to new 64-bit servers. The first part of the upgrade was completed today and www.abb.com and half of the country sites were migrated to the new servers.

The remaining country sites are still running on the old 32-bit servers and will be migrated in the second phase in the near future.

The upgrade improves the performance of the website and offers ample capacity to meet the demands set by the growing traffic. HTTP compression is used on the new servers to accelerate the loading of pages especially from continents other than Europe.

The sites have been thoroughly tested, but if you find any issues, please contact Global-Helpdesk CAWP.

The following sites were migrated today and are now running on the new servers:

www.abb.com

Segmentation in SiteStat

2008-08-29T15:08:00.000+02:00

There was a new release of SiteStat last week which includes a feature called "segmentation." While it is not exactly easy to use, my first impression is that it is a very powerful feature which allows us to get answers to questions that previously were not possible to answer.

For example, suppose you wanted to know how many visits there were to your product page. Previously you could only find the total number of visits to the page. However, often product managers want to know e.g. how many visits to that page there were from US, Germany or some other country. This is now possible using segmentation.

The segmentation function acts as a kind of a filter. I.e. instead of displaying the total visits, you specify that you want only visits from Germany.

In addition to visitor's country, you can segment the report using about 30 other criteria.
