Splunk isn't capable of
performing sentiment
analysis. Splunk is more of a
manual process than we are
looking for.

“If you are WFH full time, you should really
consider getting a VPN hardware device.
You can get them on Ebay for about $150
(you don't need to get the $800 IT will tell

better). Dealing w/ the SSL vpn is such a

Best Practices
Business analytics on combined data from Chatter and ITSM can help
make better decisions faster
- BMC has the products in place, but would benefit from improving how
they are used, and how the data is organized and viewed
- By implementing minor usage changes, the value of these tools can
increase significantly
Improve data organization using simple, pre-defined hashtags
- Helps to transform large unorganized data into workable information
- Ex: #ITRequest, #Sales, #SuccessStory, #OfficeAtHome, #Knowledge,
#Innovation
Promote and Encourage Best Practices
- Use those with high influence scores (based on followers, comments and
likes) to demonstrate best practices
- Empower key stakeholders to drive user adoption of the best practices

Reduce I.T. Friction with the help of Social Media
An astonishing 86% of the end-users the report studied lost an average of
18 work hours a month (that’s 5 full weeks a year) because of I.T. issues,
to the tune of over $100 billion in losses – Forrester Research
Increase in employee engagement leading to better productivity
Faster problem identification and solving by collecting data from
multiple sources
Research indicates that 70-80% of enterprise information resides outside
of databases in unstructured fashion
Creation of an easily accessible internal knowledge source

Editor's Notes ease of connectivity with the Sales force database, easy integration with third-party Sentiment Analysis and Text extraction connectors/API’s and excellent data interactivity as well as visual drill down. Due to the limited time we had to complete this project, there were some features that we had thought would be useful in the dashboard, but that we didn’t have time to implement. We focused on prioritizing the features Real time updates- the data we’ve been working with is from Sandbox which is updated ever X months. The data we are using is fairly recent since it is from June, but we currently don’t have realtime updates, but this could be scheduled with a production account.ITSM is currently imported from an excel sheet, which could also be scheduled to be updated.Web app – we used QlikView since we felt it would be the best way to show the relevant information. Ideally, a webapp could be created to show this same information independent of using QlikView IT friction cause loss of productivity. We feel that there are two main categories for the “next steps” Some of our suggestions are based on the limitations of our dashboard, and if they were implemented would make for a stronger toolThe other suggestions we have are based more on usage. Although the point of this project was not to rework how people use chatter and ITSM, there are some basic steps that could be taken to drastically increase the benefits that Chatter provides, and to make our dashboard results more accurate. These simple implementations or “best practices” may not be adopted by all, or quickly, but they are already built into the chatter frame work and can help IT. --Chatter has a built in feature where it already groups posts with the same hashtags together. This would make it easy for an IT Person to go in and see if any issues had multiple posts and would also help with trending topics or issues. Adoption rates may be slow at first, but as hashtags are used more frequently, users will catch on. Showing the benefits of these hashtags and that issues get responded to quicker will lead to a quicker adoption rateUse the users with “high influence” to start these changes and others will hopefully followPost grouping and bucket creation for specific topics- Use when related to ideas and innovations as well as operational process and product improvements into one bucket called ideas give IT visibility into ideas of employees and spurs product innovation in the company
