VoE Data Acquisition

Converge Voice of the Employee makes use of all data sources to create an accurate picture of employee sentiment within the organization. These data sources are usually thought of as occurring within three general classifications: Employee Survey Data, Text Data and Data available through the web.

 1. Converge VoE Survey/Focus Group

Most organizations start their VoE programs with Converge VoE Survey because most have experience with customer survey research, so starting here is familiar ground. Converge VoE Survey uses full range of data collection media – everything from paper to web-based surveys and including telephone-based data gathering. This is all managed through our secure data gathering network, SurveyNet, that supports global data gathering capabilities.

More importantly, Converge VoE Survey is an analytic research methodology. Statistical significance is replaced with real world, economic significance and quantitative and qualitative data are analyzed to produce a rich understanding of customer behavior.

2. Converge VoE Data Base

Converge VoE Data Base product is used in conjunction with Converge VoE Survey to provide analysis of qualitative (text-based) data. But that is just the start of its capabilities. Advanced text recognition and semantic interpretation allow Converge VoE Integrated Text Analysis to read any text information in electronic format, from call center data to notes and files provided by field personnel and front line staff. If it is in text, we can read it, analyze it and mine it for meaning.

Organizations tend to gather large quantities of data about customers and only a very small portion of this data comes from survey research. Most of it comes from customer interactions with company personnel. Almost all of it goes to waste. Part of the problem has been the lack of reliable software capable of analyzing this data properly. Converge VoE Integrated Text Analysis solves that problem.

3. Converge VoE Cloud

Converge VoE Cloud represents the logical extension of Converge VoE Integrated Text Analysis product. Instead of reading and analyzing text from internal company databases, our technology is applied to the web. We can scan social networking sites, blogs, electronic news alerts, mainstream media outlets and more search for key phrases and apply our technology to provide interpretation concerning current customer sentiment and attitudes toward your company, brand, products and service. Never before have organizations have access to hear what is being said out there. Converge VoE Cloud not only allows you to hear it, but can analyze the conversations occurring across the Internet and tell you what it all means for you.
