“By bringing Crimson Hexagon features into HootSuite, barriers are being broken down for unprecedented scalability of trained, trusted data.

The August 2013 Forrester report, “Driving Toward Social Intelligence Maturity,” reaffirms the value of actionable social intelligence: “The volume of data created in the social web each day is staggering. Combing through all of it to extract valuable insights about your customers and prospects brings competitive advantage, but it requires some strategic planning,” wrote Forrester’s Allison Smith and Carlton Doty, Customer Insights Analysts. “Propelling your organization to new levels of social intelligence skill and application is essential for maximizing the value of your listening and monitoring efforts.”
