VentureBeat: Xpree taps “wisdom of crowds” to let companies make better forecasts

  • Benoit · 1 year ago
    That's a pretty smart idea, but technically-speaking easy to duplicate and the competition will be tough. They may want to include more forecasting options (simulation & statistical analysis etc..) and see how they compare to provide better estimates to their clients.

    With a great idea comes competition. Take for example Youtube, look how many similar sites took advantage of the idea and found ways to implement it in a better way.

    I personally think it's a great idea and I hope it does well. I will be keeping an eye on the progress of this new venture.

    Mat and the Xpree team are doing some great things, but saying that other companies serving the corporate market "are in their earliest stages" is just flat-out wrong.

    NewsFutures has been licensing their software for nearly a decade, and ConsensusPoint has been selling their software for a number of years, as well. Even Inkling has been around for over two years.
