CustomerVision Celebrates the First Anniversary of Wiki Widgets

Popular widgets include RSS, streaming video, instant messaging and surveys.

Des Moines, IA (PRWEB) November 26, 2007

Since CustomerVision announced their pioneering "Wiki Widgets" feature in September of 2006, both CustomerVision's customers and the industry at large has fully embraced the concept. In the same way that BizWiki makes it easy to find and share the best information and expertise available within an organization, Wiki Widgets allow customers and third parties to add complimentary functionality to BizWiki that precisely matches their needs.

"From the beginning CustomerVision has focused on empowering users, regardless of their level of technical skill," said Cindy Rockwell, CEO of CustomerVision. "With our pioneering Wiki Widgets functionality we've seen users build a variety of sophisticated applications or "Mash-ups" without the need for programming. For example, sales and marketing organizations have integrated inbound RSS feeds to stay on top of market news, product teams have used video widgets to provide product training and HR teams have integrated widgets for polling and other forms of employee feedback."

Customers have embraced a wide variety of widgets to complement BizWiki. Examples include:

  • Interactive calendars
  • Instant messaging
  • Polling
  • Streaming video and audio
  • Web analytics
  • Inbound RSS feeds
  • Third party payments systems

CustomerVision BizWiki with Wiki Widgets provides a remarkable level of power and control without the need for any programming. Anyone can select a few options for a particular widget, copy the code that's automatically created and paste it into BizWiki to add powerful new capabilities to their site.

"We've been amazed at how easy it is to add powerful new functions to our BizWiki site," said Steve Moe of Advanced Performance Clinic. "For marketing and patient education we often capture patient interviews and testimonials on video and BizWiki allows anyone on our staff to create a new page and drop in a video widget on the page. These customer videos are revolutionizing the way we communicate with prospective patients because they get to learn about our treatments and results directly from our work with other patients."
