Comment on Automate your Ad Analytics Spreadsheets

I'm curious what the demand for these kinds of things are in the ad industry. I'm working on a major external reporting intake system/management/analysis platform for the publisher I work for that involves parsing reports/accessing APIs and aggregating the information into one place.

The big players (optimizers) seem to be doing about the same thing, but with their own value added features. I've literally seen no open source or independent platform do this though, and I'm not interested in paying for a vendor locked in solution. I've started working on a project on my own that does this, but I'm not really motivated by it because I don't know enough about the industry to see if its a problem for other publishers.

There is demand for this. However any reasonably large site is using way more than just these ad networks to power these sites. They would want to hook into several of the bigger ad exchanges (who in turn hook into hundreds of ad servers, networks, DSPs, etc) to get their data.
