SAN MATEO, Calif., — November 07, 2006 — Keynote (Nasdaq: KEYN), The Mobile and Internet Performance Authority™, today announced an aggressive limited-time marketing promotion targeted at Gomez and Mercury Interactive Web site monitoring customers. Along with today’s announcement of Transaction Perspective® High Frequency (see separate press release), Keynote is extending a valuable offer to Gomez and Mercury site monitoring customers to switch to the superior product at very attractive and competitive pricing. Transaction Perspective High Frequency leverages Keynote’s True Experience™ technology by using a real Internet Explorer browser for taking Web site performance measurements. By doing so, it delivers an extremely high fidelity and accurate representation of how actual users are experiencing the performance of a particular Web site. Neither Gomez nor Mercury uses a real Internet Explorer browser as part of it service offering, but rather utilize an emulated browser that can only approximate the real user experience.
For current Gomez and Mercury site monitoring customers who switch between now and December 31 to Transaction Perspective High Frequency, Keynote will provide equivalent measurement services for the UNUSED portion of existing contracts for FREE, with a minimum 12 month purchase commitment beyond the free period. For complete details of the offer please visit www.keynote.com/switch or call 1-800-KEYNOTE (539-6683).
“With the launch of Transaction Perspective 7.0 today, we have dramatically strengthened the value proposition for Keynote’s Web performance test and measurement services. Our offer to Gomez and Mercury site monitoring customers is an aggressive move to make it painless and cost-free for them to move to Keynote and begin immediately benefiting from the many advantages of the new service, including Last Mile Monitoring, Advanced Screen Snapshots and Object Level Trending, all at a price point that is very attractive to budget conscious IT operations users” said Vik Chaudhary, vice president of marketing and product management at Keynote.
