Q&A Session, Networking, Mixer LiveRail (http://www.liverail.com/) monitors more than a dozen engagement metrics, such as percentage viewed/completed, pause/resume and muting, to give advertisers greater insight into the performance of their campaigns. Capturing and tracking these metrics results in about 2 billion data points daily. This data needs to be made available to customers in near real time for reporting and ad hoc analytics. Ad hoc analysis is critical since it can move the conversation from asking ‘what happened’ to asking ‘why?’.
