About iQ Directory
iQ Directory is a live, organized chronicle that captures the emotions, sentiments, beliefs, and preferences of an audience. iQ Directory contains all experience data, collected over time, creating a system of record of all interactions and opinions each person has of an organization.
iQ Directory enables a company to take a person-centric view, helping companies gain a better understanding of an individual person’s unique journey with the company. Each new interaction builds upon past information, so this rich collection of experience data makes new interactions smarter over time, allowing a brand to customize future touch points for each group based on past preferences — improving the experience.
iQ Directory enables companies to interact with people at the right moment, with the right message, via the best channels. Now interactions feel like an ongoing conversation rather than transactional pings along a customer or employee journey.
