Social Intelligence:   My sentiments, exactly

I’m going to introduce you to yet another new concept in how IT is helping you understand your customers. It’s called “sentiment analysis” and no, it’s not measuring whether your customers cry easily or are nostalgic. But it does help you to know what they are feeling or thinking about your products and/or service!

HP has just secured a leader position in the recent “The Forrester Wave™: Managed Print Services, Q2 2012” report.  One of the key takeaways from the report that really caught my eye was this:

“Enterprises that maintain decentralized purchasing and management, without adopting MPS or aggressive self-management, will struggle to meet emerging print reduction and sustainability goals.”

Today’s workplace is more challenging to operate in for several reasons but one being that workers and the companies we do business with are located all over the world, yet travel budgets have been drastically cut. This “new normal” of doing business globally requires better collaboration among workers and partners in different geographies, business units and even companies. That’s where Unified Communications & Collaboration (UCC) comes into play for many companies including Black & Veatch, a global leader in consulting, engineering, construction and operation in the critical areas of energy, water and telecommunications.
