Use of Business Intelligence with web analysis of an electronic store

In the time of recent economic crisis is more than ever difficult to keep old and find new customers. Along with the growth of sales on the Internet there are also a growing number of competitors, which want their share of the market pie. The aim of this thesis is to use technologies and processes of Business Intelligence with web analysis of an electronic store in order to get new information and knowledge that should later on help with overcoming the two mentioned problems most companies running an internet business are today dealing with. In the first, theoretical part of this thesis there are described basic principles and processes of search engine optimization in term of both users and search engines. Next chapter follows the theory of web analysis. There are also described general as well as own selection criteria of the web analysis tool. Upon these criteria there are these tools described and evaluated. Last theoretical chapter deals with Business Intelligence, in particular with a data warehouse theory and with a process of a BI project. Introduction to the practical part is formed by a description of a current e-shop situation. In this part there is also mentioned current architecture solution, standing of the firm and its future vision. On the basis of selected web analysis tool and theoretical knowledge described in previous chapters there is than designed concrete solution and described process of its implementation, some of its outputs and also its costs. The main contribution of this thesis I see in gaining new and otherwise hardly accessible reports about the visit rate, which should ease and improve the process of website optimization and therefore help the company to strengthen its market position. Another contribution would be in demonstration of the BI implementation on a small business scale also with its cost accounting.
