What is the Analysis Exchange?

The Analysis Exchange is an effort designed to provide hands-on training opportunities for aspiring web analytics professionals while providing free web data analysis to the entire nonprofit community. The effort works by connecting organizations, mentors, and student participants:

• Organizations include nonprofits, and non-governmental organizations who rarely benefit materially from web analytics but have a tremendous opportunity for optimization;
• Students are motivated and intelligent individuals who are looking for hands-on experience with web analytics systems and real business questions;
• Mentors come from the community of analytics experts willing to pledge their time to help nonprofits and students around the world, all for the sake of Analysis Exchange!

Projects are designed to be completed in around three weeks. Nonprofits and mentors will spend fewer than five hours on each project. The Analysis Exchange is 100 percent free for everyone!

The completed details are available in our short introductory video with Analysis Exchange Executive Director Wendy Greco. Watch the Analysis Exchange introduction video.

Who Supports the Analysis Exchange?

Analysis Exchange is generously sponsored in part by IQ Workforce, ObservePoint, and Web Analytics Demystified. Our partnership with IQ Workforce allows us to make sure that our mentors and students get the best possible guidance as they move up and around in the web analytics field, and that they are recognized for their efforts in the Exchange.

How Does the Exchange Work?

The entire process takes about three weeks:

1. Students, mentors, and organizations join The Analysis Exchange
2. Organizations create a project (video explanation)
3. Students and mentors respond that they are interested in the project
4. The parties agree on a reasonable project and timeline
5. The mentor guides the student's work and proofreads the final product
6. The student and mentor present the analysis back to the organization
7. All three parties will evaluate each other's effort
