The Challenge of attribution and roi measurement

General Conference of Seventh Day Adventists

The Seventh Day Adventist Church, with its global presence and over 180 websites, faced significant hurdles in managing its online data. Each website, often managed by a different department, operated in its own silo, creating a lack of visibility into overall web performance.

This fragmented approach made it difficult to identify what was working well and what needed improvement. Additionally, the church had to navigate complex global privacy regulations, such as GDPR, which added another layer of complication.

To compound these issues, the manual effort required to generate reports consumed an estimated 20 hours per week.
