Overtone Introduces Customer Insights as a Service Suite of Customizable Professional Services
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., November 15, 2010 – Overtone®, Inc., a leading provider of advanced customer listening platforms, today introduced Customer Insights as a Service, a suite of customizable professional services for OpenMic® customers. The Customer Insights as a Service offerings help OpenMic users uncover meaningful insights from direct-to-company feedback and social media, and to formulate strategies for maximizing the value of the insights enterprise-wide.
“We’ve found that our customers want ongoing collaboration and guidance when it comes to deep analysis of unstructured customer-generated content,” said Alex Lustberg, vice president of professional services at Overtone, Inc. ‘The ‘Customer Insights as a Service’ suite provides not only comprehensive implementation and training by our professional services team, but also analytical and performance measurement services that deliver relevant insights that facilitate operational improvements and drive engagement strategies. No other customer listening company delivers this level of support to its customers.”
When companies partner with Overtone to implement the OpenMic customer listening platform they can expect a high level of direct interaction with the professional services team. Each standard OpenMic subscription includes implementation support, including: 1) performing an OpenMic Listening Audit; 2) collecting data across multiple sources; 3) defining customer-specific listening categories; 4) configuring alert rules and outputs triggered by automated listening; and 5) conducting extensive, hands-on training.
When the implementation phase is completed, Overtone consultants work closely with customers to create custom listening reports, analyze trends, and recommend actions based on consumer sentiment and preferences (e.g., product feature analysis, top support issues, competitive analysis, brand equity, etc.). Overtone also partners with customers as needed to offer strategy development and engagement services such as; integration with CRM and other existing systems; setup or enhance new data collection feeds, among other services. Direct interaction with consultants include a weekly status meeting to cover new insight exploration findings, newly mapped sources, expanded category book, and enhanced dashboard and reports.
The Professional Services team of consultants has extensive experience deploying multi-channel listening systems for continuous monitoring, analysis, and engagement. Consultants have deep backgrounds in business intelligence, social media strategy, and analytics consulting, and have helped some of the world’s leading companies categorize and analyze the meaning of their customers’ comments.
