Technology - Introducing InterVu.Cloud
 

Overview

We have been in the Cloud since it was called the Internet and after 8 years of continuous development, feedback from the trenches and relentless scrutiny we are confident that our world class technology is rock solid and has every curve ball covered that an enterprise can pitch. We call it InterVu.Cloud

So what is InterVu.Cloud?

InterVu.Cloud is a cloud based, complete, virtual business-in-a-box for phone feedback and analysis. It is capable of being the single piece of software needed to power either an internal shared service group or external service provider.

Wow. That's a lot of adjectives! So what does that mean? It means that to create a world-class phone interview business  across the globe just take InterVu.Cloud and add great interviewers anywhere in the world. Full stop.

Because it's in the cloud interviewees, interviewers, administrators, clients and survey recipients can be anywhere in the world. This means that out of the box it has what's needed to be a truly multi-local virtual organisation - and this is precisely what The Interview Group has been doing for Human Resource groups since 2006.

Here's what's in the box?

  • Phone data collection - designed for making it easy for skilled interviewers to collect feedback by phone in a way that makes analysis a snap - 'codifying conversations'.
  • Online surveys - InterVu.Cloud is designed to the far tougher demands of sophisticated phone interviews. This makes dispatching online surveys as easy as falling off a truck.
  • Workflow management - a single control panel to manage the passage of interviews is designed to ensure the trees don't get lost in the forest. With 8 years of experience built in, the 'Dispatch Table' highlights the noteworthy, automates the mundane and injects sophisticated logic into interview allocation and billing. Clients, interviewers and system administrators all have their own tailored logins to allow them to see (not see) and manage only what's relevant.
  • Oversight - ad-hoc operations reports using the power of SQL lets you track whatever is important to your KPI's. Quality control surveys allow interviewees to let you know how your people are doing.
  • Analysis online - DIY individual, aggregated and comparison reports segmented by any combination of interview questions let you move easily from analysis to insight to 'so-what'.
  • HRIS Intergration via webservices - allows a client's HRIS to automatically submit interview requests as part of their normal workflow e.g. exit process. A unique fault tolerant and automatica follow-up system allows interviews to proceed even if data is missing or the client's system is out of snyc with yours.
  • Administration - multiple siloed accounts with fine grain control over access to data, functions and the rest. Drag and drop management of organisation structures.
  • Finance - tailorable billing for services, invoice generation and distribution, charge automation via Survey Scripts allows charges to added based on survey responses or meta data, filtered invoices for transfer pricing.
  • Privacy and Security - https/ssl, 2 factor security on sensitive areas, automated report distribution tied to in-survey disclosure controls locks in privacy at the application level.
  • Scalable and Failover Protected - put massive clients in their own database or move the heavy lifting done by the reporting tools onto another server. There are virtually no limits to InterVu.Clouds ability to scale. Use the same technology to keep a live copy of your database elsewhere in case disaster strikes.

Multi-local Business Model ... plus

InterVu.Cloud is entirely cloud based so that clients, interviewees, interviewers, administrators and survey recipients can be located anywhere in the world working from wherever there is a good internet connection.

Not only does this make it possible to be a multi-local company, sensitive to local cultures while co-ordinated centrally, but the incredible flexibility that can be offered to interviewers means you can tap into the vast pool of talented professionals looking for flexible part time work - one of the great untapped resources of our time.
