Introduction
WWW is today's common business platform.
E-Commerce infrastructure must be reliable, robust and scalable.
Web systems produce huge amounts of user activity data that are often unused.
User activity data must be converted to information.
Intelligent Customer classification allows better customized services.

The Problem
E-shops often operate in “blind folded” fashion.Only successful sales transactions are visible to the
administration and management.Most e-Commerce systems have no built-in
performance measuring mechanisms.Only registered-customer actions are taken into
consideration. Visitor majority may not be customers yet. Their behavior has to be analyzed in order to make them.
Access log files include all interaction data details.Manual access log file scrutinizing is too inconvenient
to be performed on regular basis.

The Solution
Parsing and “cleaning” log files. Extraction and transfer into a DBMS. Information Generation.
Cross correlation of log file and e-Commerce site data for seamless integration.
Anonymous and registered visitor hits can be analyzed through their IP-addresses.
Crawlers and Web-Bots can be recognized via IP-address and their behavioral patterns.
Implementation of a software tool that directly measures the operational performance of the e-shop in nearly real time.
