“SPLYT’s innovative approach to web, social and mobile app analytics is revolutionary and gives us an enormous step ahead as we provide sophisticated management of digital services,” said Shane Robinett, Knetik CEO. “SPLYT empowers decision makers with the ability to analyze application KPIs relevant to their business through the platform’s deep contextual insights. SPLYT’s functionality will be tightly integrated into the Knetik Platform to provide our customers with a broad view into product performance and enable them to make better and more profitable decisions.”
