VOVICI AND ATTENSITY DELIVER THE MOST POWERFUL CUSTOMER LISTENING SOLUTION ON
THE MARKET TODAY

Combined Solution Enables Organizations to Listen to Both Structured and
Unstructured Customer Conversations Uncovering Actionable Feedback, Issues and
Sentiment

Vovici, the leading provider of Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM) solutions
and Attensity Group, the leader in business user applications that generate
value from unstructured data, today announced a partnership to deliver a
SaaS-based loyalty solution that incorporates formal and informal customer
feedback for analysis and action. 

With the combined offering from Vovici and Attensity, chief customer officers
will have a single, powerful solution that enables them to:

1
        capture both structured and unstructured customer comments in surveys 
        and other customer feedback forums
      2
        control feedback campaigns, administration, security, and branding 
        enterprise-wide
      3
        analyze combined structured and unstructured data sets for optimum 
        insights
      4
        take action triggered by insights, sentiment, and issues garnered from 
        customer conversations

"Chief customer officers require a single solution that gives them the power not
only to hear everything their customers are saying inside and outside corporate
survey instruments, but also to understand drivers of customer loyalty at a
deeper level," said Greg Stock, chairman and CEO for Vovici. "In any given
industry, the corporation that understands their customers and connects to them
emotionally will win. This strategic technology integration arms our customers
with a real competitive edge." 

Vovici survey software securely captures actionable feedback data from every
source to increase loyalty and grow revenue. Vovici survey tools enable
organizations to centralize feedback data collection, build and manage
proprietary panels, leverage corporate social networking initiatives, and
utilize robust survey analytics and reporting. "An effective loyalty program
requires a systematic approach to listening, interpreting, reacting, and
monitoring; this begins with the structured feedback in survey instruments but
is significantly enhanced when unstructured comment and conversation data is
included," said Roderick Morris, vice president of marketing for Vovici. 

Attensity delivers the power of sophisticated data and semantic analytics in the
form of easy-to-use business applications, allowing business leaders, customer
support personnel, and customers to get relevant and actionable answers fast.
Attensity applications use analytic engines to access both structured and
unstructured data from various sources, find relevant and accurate information
in response to queries, and present the resulting insights in a way that
supports accurate and timely decision-making. 

"Together, Attensity and Vovici offer organizations the unique ability to get to
the core of customer experience and respond to customer feedback and requests in
a timely and impactful manner," said Ian Bonner, chairman and CEO for Attensity.
