Japanese Number 1 Game for iPhone and iPod touch "newtonica" from Field System Has Been Updated!!

TOKYO --(Business Wire)-- Field System (headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroshi Suzuki) has updated its original game, "newtonica," developed for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch platforms, through App Store (priced at US$4.99 or JPY600, including tax).

In addition, a free application, "newtonica player," designed to play the minimal techno tracks composed for "newtonica" by Kenji Eno, is now available as well.

"newtonica" is an original game developed especially for the iPhone and iPod touch by two game creators who already have a string of hits to their names, Kenichi Nishi (planning and game direction) and Kenji Eno (sound design and music production).

Immediately after its release, "newtonica" went to number one on the Japanese ranking charts. To expand its worldwide popularity, Field System has released both, an updated version and a free application.

The new version of "newtonica" displays the user's world-wide rankings at game's end. Users who have already purchased "newtonica" can download the updated version for free.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
