Confirmit has released Version 18 (V18) of its Horizons solution for customer experience and market research. Horizons V18 introduces Confirmit SmartHub, a customer engagement hub that enables businesses to capture, analyze and respond to customer and market feedback across multiple channels and sources in real-time. Instant Analytics is a new analysis module that provides immediate, actionable insights with no setup or training required.

Cases can be managed through to completion to ensure businesses drive change and close the loop on tactical and strategic actions.
