This year's key CCC'14 event in Orlando showcased keynote speakers from ViaSat Inc., Best Buy, Gartner, Infor, Asurion, Fresh Intelligence, as well as industry leaders like Jim Davies from Gartner and Bruce Temkin. Best practices and stories of transformative change realised through Voice of the Customer (VoC), Voice of the Employee (VoE) and Market Research (MR) programmes were shared with this year's attendees. The Confirmit Community Conference also toured in London, Oslo and will make its way to San Francisco on September 25th. Other Q2 highlights include: 34 percent growth YTD on the Confirmit Horizons on-demand environments. Continued, long-term commitment from clients and market expansion across all industries. 10 billion posts collected through Confirmit Genius(TM) for analysis from social media platforms, forums, blogs and news media, at an average rate of over 10 million posts per day. An increase of 84 percent in mobile responses compared to Q2 2013. 100 percent platform uptime of the Confirmit Horizons platform for web-based data collection. Recognition in two key industry reports by leading analyst firm Forrester Research - Forrester: Voice of The Customer Vendor Landscape, 2014 report - Confirmit is one of only two companies who offered 100% of all surveyed capabilities provided either as self-service or vendor supported service - Forrester: How To Use Text Analytics in Your VoC Program, 2014 Report - Confirmit is one of only two companies that can directly capture unstructured feedback from multiple sources. The release of the Confirmit 2013 Market Research Technology Report led by Tim Macer, managing director of meaning ltd., revealed that 70% of research firms are now undertaking some VoC or Customer Experience Management (CEM) work.
