Our Omniture beacon calls are currently routed through the newly opened Japanese data collection centre instead of the US, however this only cuts the distance from most of our sites users to collection and back from 10,500 km to 8,800 km. There will always be substantial latency on these sorts of calls.
By comparison, there has been local collection servers for competitors products in both New Zealand and Australia for at least 5 years. Now that Omniture is part of Adobe worldwide and, as there is already a T&T server in place in Syndey, it would be a good time to put some local SiteCatalyst data collection servers into the region to better server the growing number of customers here.
