MindSolve Expands Access Options To Visual 360
ACTION ITEMS
MindSolve Technologies has announced expanded access options for its Visual 360 multi-rater product to provide enterprises with the ability to use the Internet and Intranet to gather data that supports strategic and tactical decision-making.
Visual 360 is a whole new way of automating consensus-gathering information using the 360-degree assessment method. For enterprises who want to make quality decisions when evaluating people or mission-critical strategies, Visual 360 is the most powerful tool available to gather reliable data across multiple locations while accommodating users ranging from pilot groups to tens of thousands.
The option to use this software can now be done using the Internet or a company's Intranet system and expanded from Windows platforms to include MacIntosh and Unix users. This "no additional charge" component allows access to Visual 360 through standard browsers such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 (and newer) and Internet Explorer 3.0 (and newer). It maintains the same patented, intuitively easy, drag-and-drop interface used in the licensed software version to evaluate performances or ideas. The system gathers information using a sophisticated statistical model to collect, score, and report results that consider all ratings. Visual 360 does not systematically eliminate harsh or lenient scores but uses a percentile scoring method that helps recipients determine for themselves the significance of outlying opinions. This highly reliable data can be the basis for intelligent decision-making. Many companies have already taken advantage of using the Visual 360 Internet access option including University of California at Berkeley and Symantec Corporation.
"MindSolve is committed to supporting our clients to make their lives easier. We are very happy to offer the automated advantages that Visual 360 can provide over the Internet and Intranet," explains General Manager Dan Boccabella. "Having many options available to companies so they can enhance their overall effectiveness is a strong focus of our company. The Internet and Intranet access allows them to collect feedback for paperless assessments or surveys and removes a huge burden from the staff who have to administer multi-source feedback systems."
The system was designed and is supported by MindSolve Technologies, a Florida-based software development and consulting firm specializing in solutions that optimize organizational effectiveness.
