[Building Sakai] Sakai utilization metric?

[Sean DeMonner]

Jeff,

At U-M we have had Google Analytics pointed at our Gateway and Help files for some time, but as you have noted that doesn't really tell the whole story. Several U-M folks (Leasia, Lonn, Aditya)  gave a well-attended presentation in Denver on the various sources and uses of data from our Sakai instance:

Presentation description:

As you will see from the presentation, getting useful information from all that data can be challenging; we're hoping to begin working on a more consolidated, and user friendly, Business Intelligence project this Fall.

SMD.
