In today’s changing market, an increasing number of companies are focusing their marketing and customer service efforts on developing a better understanding of how variables such as the quality of agent engagement impacts customer purchases and retention.

By using unstructured data from social and traditional channels, organizations can organize and classify tens of thousands of types of conversations into corporate intelligence that helps marketers answer tough questions like: How do I address market need?

The voice of the consumer has been causing organizations to operate differently – customers don’t want to fill out forms, they prefer to turn to social media channels such as Twitter. With customer conversations multiplying exponentially and new social networks emerging as influential feedback channels, organizations need tactics that let them put their ears to the rail of customer sentiment - in real time. Attensity is applying multi-channel customer analytics that include filtering the firehose that's the social web to uncover emerging trends and issues as seen through the eyes of consumers. Attensity is poised to help companies take advantage of this market shift,” he adds.
