SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb. 12, 2001 digiMine(SM), Inc., a service provider of business intelligence solutions, announced today that Nordstrom.com, the catalog and Internet subsidiary of Nordstrom Inc., has implemented digiMine Analytic Services.

With digiMine Analytic Services, Nordstrom.com is provided with a fully integrated solution that combines click-stream, product catalog, promotion and transaction information to provide insight into Web site performance, content and product consumption, browse-to-buy conversion and marketing campaign effectiveness.
“digiMine data mining and analytics gives us information to help us create a more compelling shopping experience for our customers,” says Julie Bornstein, general manager of the Internet for Nordstrom.com. “digiMine’s hosted service model is a great fit for Nordstrom.com because our core business is providing our customers with brand name fashion in an online environment that’s easy and convenient to use — not managing data warehousing and data mining systems.”
