eMeeka Live may very well be an IT product like you've never had before!

Here's how it works.

First of all, it's an Internet Appliance. In other words, a bit like a refrigerator, you plug it in and leave it to work on its own. Maybe the occasional tweak once a year but apart from that, it's designed to support itself or be supported remotely from the eMeeka Operations Centre - not by you or your staff.

Secondly, it's flexible. You choose the hardware. You choose how much you're willing to spend, what level of performance, scalability, storage and redundancy you'd like. You also provide the OS license - usually from your corporate account to make it even more cost effective (Windows 2000 Advanced Server or above with SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition).

And that's pretty much it.

The cost of the eMeeka Live software includes complete configuration of the hardware, OS and software configuration, shipping to the premises of your choice and installation.

In order to do this one of our consultants will visit your technical staff to get some details about the network address you'd like to assign it, security settings, arrange dates etc.

The two last steps involve teaching eMeeka Live about your web site and things you want to track:

1. You can either supply an XML file (or MQ message) giving details about pages, articles, channels, categories and keywords or use your browser to set up these details manually. Most customers prefer to supply a complete list initially then send smaller files direct to the server(s) as and when the details change. For example, the file may contain the title of each story with an associated number or a list of categories such as "Sport" with keywords such as "Football, cricket, hockey, tennis" etc. If you use a content management system, this is likely to be a simple extract from your database.

2. You add a single line of HTML to each of your web pages, right at the end. Again, if you use a content management system, this involves a change to the main template which serves out pages. The line leaves an invisible object on the page, right at the end so it doesn't affect download time and the user never knows it's there. This file is known as the invisible X file as it can't been seen on the page and in the HTML it looks like a string of numbers.

Now you're ready to go. It's that simple.

If you've gone for eMeeka Live Enterprise Edition, our consultants can even help out with distributing the shortcuts, tickers, speedos and trackers, automatically to your users' PCs so they can start seeing the stats straight away!
