            <p class="lead">What started out as an internal development project from within <a href="http://www.cityindex.co.uk/" target="_blank">City Index</a> was soon after released as
                an open source project for all to benefit.</p>

            <p>
                <a href="http://www.cityindex.co.uk/" target="_blank">City Index</a> realised the potential value of the information available to them in the log files and required a flexible solution to not only view
                the log files but rather to view and cross analyse them.
