Not front office, but anyways: review this large set of statistics modules. IIRC some of them require collecting traffic in the database, which virtually nobody turns on. Stuff like shown on the dashboard page is still interesting, no Google Analytics can show how many products were sold or how many purchases are waiting for being processed.
Finally somebody, who says it! I hate this widespreaded opinion, that GA can handle everything. It's helpful to improve your site, but it doesn't tell you a lot about your core business....
On the other hand this area is just too big for thirty bees to reinvent the wheel.
I'd rather see us rip all the useless builtin stat stuff out and do a kickass Piwik integration.
Piwik runs locally, so it can get a lot tighter integrated than GA, has no privacy and loss of data ownership issues, also comes with plugin support for custom integrations etc.
I have no problem with an external solution. But GA is just not good in the key numbers: returns, margins, revenue and stuff
