San Jose, Calif., Jul 20, 2010— Baynote, the innovator in adaptive Web solutions, announced today that the Company achieved several milestones during the first half of 2010, exceeding estimates set by the management team. These achievements include surpassing 300 customer implementations and optimizing 5 billion Web interactions a month.
