My own IT team wants to develop internally our own Tag containing solution, what should I say ?

From our experience, knowledge, creativity and competency exist in every team and we are sure that you team could give birth to a solution. Nevertheless, Tag containing has nothing to see with your core business. It’s just a matter of time but one day your management will choose to stop such an activity and then you will have to switch to an external solution. Until this decision, you will benefit from a solution that won’t be the best of the market, just because it won’t be the only goal of your internal team to maintain it and also because your investment in that subject will be limited. From our experience, we observed that relationship between marketing teams and IT Teams can be sometimes difficult, because each team are exposed to pressure of time and business, Asking the IT team to develop a solution won’t eliminate the kind of problem you may observe when you’re asking for something urgently. The challenge for us is to give the control to the marketing, in collaboration with the IT team and it seems for us the best solution.

What is the difference between your tag and tags provided by my web analytics solution ?

Tag Commander is a tag container that can embed other tags whereas classical tags are more elementary. Tag Commander can be Master Tag or Meta Tag but much more sophisticated.

What is the difference between a tag container and a universal tag ?

Tag commander provides both a tag container solution and a universal tag solution, delivering the first Universal Tag Container.
Universal tags define a standard set of variables that can be shared with third-party tools (indexation spider, tracking’s tools, CMS, SEO optimization tool, targeting solutions, web analytics). Universal tags are independent from other tags.

Let’s take the example of an extranet whose audience is measured with an internal tool (ExtraStat) and an external tool (SuperStat) :

The universal tag could contain the information needed to feed the variables of both tools
·  Page_Name
·  Page_Path
·  Status (connected or not)

The container tag which is on each page of the extranet will embed 2 tags
·  Tag ExtraStat
·  Tag SuperStat ·  Last step, Tag Commander will organize the mapping between the Universal Tag and the Container Tag

Can I Insert your tag Container in my Content Management Solution (CMS) ?

Yes. It’s one of the best strategies that you can have. Adding a new tag in your CMS will be an easy task and will provide agility to your team.

What is a Tag Container ?

A Tag Container is a virtual element capable of embracing the content of tracking. Tracking elements may vary (Web Analytics, Affiliation, SEO, mobile...) and are usually based on heterogeneous technologies (iframe, images tags, JavaScript tags, XML files ...). A Tag Container must be coupled to a parameter and a production interface that will permit to replace the manual tagging process by a centralized and user friendly management interface. Tag commander is a Tag Container associated to a Universal tag.

What is the relation with a Universal Tag ?

A Universal tag is a norm that permits to define an exhaustive list of variables that a web site would like to collect in order to share with third party tools such as indexation robots, ad-server, affiliation platforms, CMS, referencing optimization, targeting solutions, web-analytics... A Universal tag works independently from third party tracking. Tag Commander enhances both concepts Universal tag and Tag Container into one solution, creating the first Universal Tag Container.

Piggy backing

In web terms piggy backing consists on linking a third party tracking to another thanks to a proprietary technology (Tag Commander). The Tag container enhances a second tag (WebAnalytics, Affiliation, AdServer). Each tracking tool on the web uses its own elements and there for its own tags, the ones you have to add, remove, modify. The more elements you manage, the more tags you have to deal with. Using the piggy backing technique via a Tag Container is an efficient and secure way to avoid technical interference on the web site, the mobile application or the solution you want to measure.

Tag Performance, Asynchronous Tag

Web sites performance is critical for visitors, performance is strongly linked to tag execution time. Navigation is often slowed due to third party scripts (advertising, audience tags...) that are downloaded after the home page, creating a negative user experience since each display of a new page takes several seconds. Optimizing the way scripts are executed permits pages to be downloaded faster. Tag commander accelerates web pages download time.
