We use an external company to provide platform support. A developer who understands tag management is required. Beyond the technical support, the team of business users is all that is required. They must have a business curiosity and interest in improving UX to ask questions which could be the basis for tests.

I think it is helpful to have a marketer, a testing strategist and also a front-end developer to truly have a high-functioning team. Monetate's support is great, but having these folks on staff will just take you over the edge. A front-end developer is the ace for any testing team because they can really help you to be agile in running sophisticated tests.
