Notes de l'éditeur
The real value of Sysomos is not in the data or the technology, but how you use the system. This training and the accompanying manual is designed as a helpful guide for end users to learn how to use the tool and to maximize its value.
Coca-Cola has purchased licenses to two Sysomos products - Heartbeat and Media Analysis Platform or MAP. Both are based on the same technology; however they provide different features to meet the needs of different users. Heartbeat is designed for day-to-day monitoring and measurement requirements which will be available to most users within The Coca-Cola Company. MAP is designed to be a research tool and will be available to select users only. The key difference is the ability to assign workflow within Heartbeat.
Access to MAP is limited to a specific number of licenses and only one person can utilize one license at a time. It is extremely important that each user log out when they are finished using MAP or if they will be idle in the system for a period exceeding 10 minutes.
At the core of Sysomos is an ever-growing and evolving database of conversations. How and when information is pulled and analyzed can significantly impact the results. Two people utilizing the same Heartbeat to obtain a snapshot of consumer sentiment regarding Diet Coke, for example could get differing results. If these reports are circulated internally without context it could create confusion. In order to limit possible confusion, each user is required to include a report summary to allow for easier comparison.Depending on the final format of the report, this information can be included in a cover memo, overview section or final/appendix section of the report. The important factor is that it is included and clearly marked. If you have been asked to develop a report on the following topics, you must include the appropriate team member on the report distribution list regardless of business unit, report purpose or report recipients. NOTE: mention cc list if still applicable
Sysomos can be a very powerful tool, but at its core it is simply a database. The value is in how the data is analyzed and used internally to make The Coca-Cola Company smarter and more effective. If you are pulling data or creating a report for another person or team it is recommended that you decide as a group what type of information would be helpful and in what format.
