Webinar on Text Analytics by DXC Technology

It is great to know that internet can create so much raw data, rather quantitative data from ordinary everyday online conversations, when noticed can give us an idea about the products and services.

For businesses, the random conversations could give a lot of information. But it can be challenging to translate the qualitative data into something more quantitative as that is the language spoken by the enterprise. Making sense of this data manually is not possible or viable and this is where text Analytics comes into the picture.

In other words text analytics is a process of making meaning out of written communication, it means examining what was written. Finding patterns and topics of interest and then take probable decisions. Since it is established that manual analytics of this data is an inefficient process, text analytics software’s have been created that uses text mining and natural language processing algorithms (NLP) to search meaning in the huge amount of text data.

Emails, blogs, feedback, reviews, tweets, survey reports, any form of written feedback, all of it holds insight into public/customer feelings. It’s a wealth of information that is recorded and can easily be transformed into text. Text analytics is the key in unlocking the treasure that this information can offer. Decoding this information can help an organisation to understand patterns and themes so that the customer’s expectations and needs are clear and gives time to organisations to handle a situation and make better decisions.

Text analytics software can also help provide early warning signs about what the customers emotions are, if they are planning to go to the competitors, or if there is a complain that the customers are facing.

Text analytics can give numerical values to words, sentences or phrases from the unstructured data. Numerical data can be further linked with structured data using data mining techniques. Because text analytics is still in the infancy stage, depth analysis varies from vendor to vendor.
