TagMan and Digital Fulcrum Join Forces to Optimize Performance of legacy 3rd Party Tags

Integrated Solution Gives Brand Marketers Faster Page Load Times and a Superior Online Experience

NEW YORK, NY – TagMan (www.tagman.com), the global leader in tag management, announced today an exclusive strategic partnership with Digital Fulcrum (www.digital-fulcrum.com), provider of the Ghostwriter web performance optimization technology.

Through the partnership, TagMan is further expanding its tag management functionality to deliver optimal page performance for all types of tags, combining its unique ability to support any type of tag with Digital Fulcrum’s expertise in performance management.

“By joining forces with the leader in tag management technology, we’re able to bring improved site performance to a much broader market,” said Kevin LeFew, managing partner for Digital Fulcrum. “Our solution, combined with the services and metrics that TagMan delivers, creates an incredibly valuable tool that improves user experiences, better informs decision making, and ultimately drives revenue. We are pleased to be collaborating on enhanced services for marketers and publishers alike.”

The partnership will bring even stronger performance optimization to TagMan clients for their third party marketing tags. TagMan’s flexible system already can serve tags asynchronously, which allows tags to load independently of the page content rather than blocking it. TagMan also offers a solution to accelerate the loading of blocking (synchronous) tags using its patent pending smart loading approach (see our recent Tag Loading Whitepaper). Ghostwriter extends this solution further by allowing synchronous tags to be executed asynchronously without modifying the code, which enables TagMan to be used asynchronously with any third party tag.

“We’ve seen the majority of our current vendor base tags, which exceed 250, were written before browsers started to implement HTML5 features like asynchronous JavaScript,” said Paul Cook, CEO and founder of TagMan. “We’ve worked hard to optimize the dynamic loading of these synchronous tags, and Ghostwriter provides another alternative. Integration with Ghostwriter has helped us reach our target of support for any tag within an asynchronous container, allowing companies to de-couple their tags from their website performance and something alternative Tag Management Systems simply cannot do.

“No longer will marketers need to sacrifice functionality and page performance for their third party tags,” he continued. “They’ll have access to better data, faster page loading, and the freedom to work with any vendor. We are very excited by this partnership and it is already live and integrated for several clients.”
