The Business Benefits of Crowdsourcing
As reported on V3.co.uk, a novel crowdsourcing system has reaped unexpected benefits from mining its customer's ideas for business strategies. As note din the report, human resources and back office software as a service (Saas) provider Ultimate Software has spent the last year researching its customer's suggestions and complaints using business intelligence (BI) software and has taken up over 70 of their ideas for its corporate products.
“Pickren said the system also helped explain to customers why certain features weren't being added, by giving evidence of the support – or lack of it – for particular business services.
