Nielsen, global information and insights company, and ResponseTek, leading Customer Experience Management (CEM) software provider for enterprise brands, have formed a multi-country strategic alliance to create a powerhouse customer experience solution.
The new solution, the Nielsen Listening Platform, merges the world’s authority in market research and consumer insights with the top global CEM platform.

The Nielsen Listening Platform measures and analyses customer feedback as it happens, provides key performance metrics and dashboards so that learning flows throughout the whole organisation, from senior management right down to the frontline. It then manages the corrective actions that must be taken with the end consumer through automated alerts and workflow management. Clients of the solution will have access to industry benchmarks and best practices to assess key performance metrics against competitors.
