Two weeks ago, we told you that Terapeak’s parent company, Advanced Ecommerce Research Systems, would be making a pair of exciting announcements at the inaugural PayPal X Innovate 2009 Developer Conference… and now that the cat’s out of the bag, we can tell you more!

At the event in San Francisco, the AERS team unveiled its plans for Terapeak Analytics, a family of tools that uses your historical and real-time PayPal data to deliver visual and statistical insight into your ecommerce business. With Terapeak Analytics, you’ll be able to better understand your business, and make faster, more profitable decisions.

The first of two tools is called Terapeak Mobile Merchant, a real-time business analytics application designed for use with the Apple iPhone. You can see sales trends and transaction details quickly and visually, and review your recent and real-time PayPal data any time, any place.

The second application is Terapeak Merchant Analytics, a real-time business monitoring and analytics solution. You can gain insight into important facets of your business, from buyer gender to currency breakdown, by viewing analytics from up to five years of historical and real-time PayPal merchant data. With Terapeak Merchant Analytics, you can base your business decisions on real-time insights from your own data.

The AERS/Terapeak teams are excited to bring you more about these new tools and developments, and if you’d like to stay in the loop, there’s a sign-up form on the Terapeak Analytics information page over at AERS.

Congratulations, team!

Terapeak is proud to announce that its parent company, Advanced Ecommerce Research Systems, has been chosen as a silver sponsor of PayPal’s Innovate 2009 developer conference this November!

Founded in 2004, AERS has long been a market leader in advanced transactional data processing, and is today the exclusive distributor of eBay market data. At Innovate 09, which takes place November 3-4 in San Francisco, CA, members of the AERS team will deliver a speech detailing the value of ecommerce-based transaction data (which all of you Terapeak users experience every day), as well as how to harness that data and use it to build applications.

They’ll also makea pair of very exciting announcements!

Innovate 09 is PayPal’s first dedicated developer conference, and will feature keynote addresses from O’Reilly Media CEO Tim O’Reilly, eBay CEO John Donahue, PayPal President Scott Thompson, and others.

Congratulations once again to the entire AERS team!

Check it out: our friends and partners at Terapeak Germany (Auktionsanalyse!) sent some photos from this year’s Afterbuy+Friends BBQ in Krefeld, Germany!

For those who don’t know, the AfterBuy BBQ is an annual event that sees eBay.de users gather to learn more about the platform and its third-party offerings. This year’s event hosted over 800 participants and 35 exhibitors… and naturally, look who’s set up right next to the eBay.de booth!

Keeners!

As promised, here are a couple photos from big events we’ve blogged about recently!

The first is a shot of Terapeak founders Anthony and Andrew Sukow at the G8 Young Business Summit in Stresa, Italy:

Lookin’ good, guys!

And the second is a shot of our various international teams standing in front of Victoria’s Inner Harbor, taken during the Terapeak International Conference:

If hosting our international partners wasn’t worldly enough for you, we’re excited to announce that brothers Anthony and Andrew Sukow, founders of Terapeak and Advanced Ecommerce Research Systems, are currently en route to Stresa, Italy to participate in the 2009 G8 Summit.

Anthony, Terapeak’s Executive Vice President of Business Development, and Andrew, Chief Technology Officer, are representing the Canadian Youth Business Foundation as Entrepreneur Delegates, and will both be on hand to discuss the birth and growth of AERS/Terapeak — from becoming eBay’s first official data licensor all the way back in 2004, to taking over eBay’s own retired Marketplace Research tool last fall.

On behalf of everyone at the Terapeak offices (even those of us who’d rather be in Italy ourselves!), it is an honor to be recruited for an event as big as this, on a stage as international as any in the world.

In related “speaking” news, Anthony was also a featured speaker at the 2009 eBay Developers Conference in San Jose, California two weeks ago, where he delivered a speech on the benefits of Data-Powered Selling Manager Applications. The DevCon is widely attended and regarded within the industry as a hotbed for up-and-coming developers, entrepreneurs, and anyone else interested in the future of eBay and online commerce.

Here’s a shot of Anthony doing his thing on the DevCon stage:

If we’re using the word “excited” a lot, please forgive us; we just couldn’t be more thrilled about Terapeak’s continued involvement in not only the mainstream eBay community, but with regards to online business worldwide!

We’re pleased to announce that Terapeak’s first International Conference, which took place June 22-24 right here at Terapeak HQ in Victoria, was a major success.

The partners gathered for three days of intensive, productive meetings to discuss new and better ways of providing eBay marketplace research, as well as fine-tuning and streamlining the relationships between all Terapeak brands. Here at the company, we’ve always understood the need for a global perspective, and we feel particularly enlightened having shared all kinds of world views with our friends and business partners. As you can probably imagine, the markets in China and Germany, for example, are quite a bit different from our own in North America!

Of course, we wouldn’t have been good hosts if we hadn’t left time for some fun and team-building, and so a lot of great food was consumed, the lush west coast terrain explored — and hey, we even saw a few whales! (Actually closer to 50 if you can believe it.)

We’re excited now to move forward with this better understanding, to further refine these partnerships, and to provide you with the best Terapeak possible!

We’ll also try to post some pictures from the conference as soon as we find that camera…

Over the nearly seven years since Terapeak was first created, we’ve always been extremely proud to see growth in the product and its reach. Of course that doesn’t mean we’re ever satisfied, or that we aren’t always looking at better ways to serve our customers — but we do enjoy standing back every now and then and high-fiving about where we’re at.

Next Monday, we’ll be welcoming some of our international partners to Terapeak.com headquarters, and sitting down to discuss all kinds of ways to improve both the product and company. As you may or may not know, Terapeak has partner sites in China, France, and Germany, and in the same way it applies to many things in life (including selling on eBay, as we’ve told you about recently), we believe in striving for a truly global perspective. Hosting our international partners is a momentous occasion for us, and something we couldn’t be more excited about.

We hope to take a lot from these meetings, and to eventually share it with you! Of course, as always, we think it’s absolutely vital to also keep an open discussion with our client base, so feel free to share any comments or questions you may have yourself.

Cheers, all!
