But double tagging adds the workload of the analytic guy, monitoring data quality, and overseeing implementation of 2 tools, and not to mention he will have to answers questions like "why is my page's visits number are higher in GA? Which one should i trust? is this accurate at all? Then I will have to explain the whole concept of precision vs. accuracy. Again, if resource is not an issue, why not.

Tagging was made easy for us by our use of XML, Tracking Classes in our flash, and Web Dev's that make it work in both.

However, this essentially doubles the effort of implementation and maintenance. If we have to implement 2 sets of codes, and still maintain adequate data integrity for 2 both systems, we would have to hire a lot more people to help, and headcounts is hard to get in this economy despite WA is a growing industry. A company that has multiple sites and web campaigns go out every week. How can this be scalable? I have high respect for Eric. I am always the devils advocate, so I hope folks here don’t mind me just throwing my opinion out. I can clearly see the benefit of having different sets of tools for different audiences.
