Velocity 5.5 to Increase Visibility into Customer Satisfaction Management

PITTSBURGH and ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Vivisimo (vivisimo.com), a leading provider of enterprise search software and expertise, and ForeSee Results (foreseeresults.com), the leader in online customer satisfaction management, today announced that Vivisimo Velocity will power ForeSee's online analysis of customers' open text question responses. ForeSee customers want the inclusion of open text or verbatim questions in surveys and Velocity makes it easy to cluster and analyze the results. Vivisimo's clustered search output shows themes within customer responses and helps solve challenging business issues.

"Velocity is a powerful enhancement to our customer satisfaction analysis," said Larry S. Freed, president and CEO of ForeSee Results. "We identify where making improvements will have the greatest impact on satisfaction and future behavior. Being able to cluster themes in verbatim survey responses helps us diagnose specific problems and opportunities with far greater specificity and actionability."

Vivisimo will build a secure way for ForeSee customers to log-in and gain access to their open text question responses for analysis via an URL. Once a ForeSee customer has logged in, they will be shown an advanced search page interface featuring content drop downs and functions specific to the customer's survey questions. In addition, the customer will have a search box to input free text searches to search the question responses.

"The implementation of Velocity is another validation that sophisticated search techniques such as our clustering is an incredibly powerful tool to vastly improve enterprise customer solutions," said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO and co-founder of Vivisimo. "ForeSee customers will quickly yield benefits from their improved analysis in the form of better informed decision making and business planning."
