Crowded Wisdom is a social idea management and business decision support solution. Featuring a sophisticated Web 2.0 interface, Crowded Wisdom allows employees, customers, vendors and partners to share ideas that can then be quickly and easily evaluated on multiple criteria by the defined community. Ideas can be contributed by anyone at any time, and become immediately available for other users to add to their personal Wishlist.
11
But the wisdom of crowds doesn't end there. Participants can organize their wishlists by ranking and rating ideas with simple drag & drop gestures. By sorting ideas in order of priority, users can express not simply that they like an idea, but where they rank it among other ideas they like. They can also rate ideas independent of their ranking, creating a deeper understanding of priorities and preferences. | ||
Site administrators can group ideas together into Scorecards, which are then made available to crowd participants. Scorecards can be limited to a preset collection of ideas, or be open-ended. Once participants have submitted their scores, administrators can see rankings and ratings for all the ideas. Administrators can also assign weighting values to participants, which will differentiate their scoring, allowing key customers and users to have a stronger voice. | ||
For example, imagine you are a major fast food chain and want to seek ideas from your customer base about what products or services to offer. You could start by having an open collection of ideas, letting people feed off of and rate each other's ideas, building a loyal community of interest. Then you can create a targeted Scorecard of the highest rated ideas that are actually feasible and publish that to the community to prioritize and rate ideas AGAINST each other, giving you valuable market intelligence about what changes you could make that would have the highest impact to your community. That is the power of Crowded Wisdom. | ||
Built on the latest Domino technology, Crowded Wisdom can be deployed and managed on one server or across multiple clustered servers in just minutes, and can be easily integrated into other web applications for maximum exposure and business value. | ||
Pricing: | ||
Up to 25 users: $999 + $12 for each additional user. OR | ||
