BackWeb's flexible data acquisition and delivery capabilities enable the ACNielsen service to capture and deliver data in a 'polite' and 'light' way. As a result, ACNielsen customers can consistently and accurately analyze and act on the most current market data available, and ACNielsen can track and audit their customer data synchronizations to monitor service levels.
