Recently I found an application which both offers a very elegant interface as well as a different way of approaching forecasting. ~Shaun Snapp

Aw shucks, Shaun. You’re making us blush.

Shaun Snapp of Forecast Systems just put together a positive review of our Foresight prediction markets platform interface. This is especially flattering, considering that he wrote recently about the difficulty of designing good forecasting interfaces.

We stack up well against the competition in part because of the power of prediction markets to refine collective forecasting:

Consensus Point not only brings a very appealing interface, but brings the collaborative concept. Unlike SAP DP, where collaboration is more of an afterthought, Consensus Point is actually designed around collaboration. The software is different from other product based forecasting systems I have had exposure to and that should not be surprising as in its heritage is from financial trading rather than from statistics. The software is backed up by academic work in the field of predictive markets.

Thanks, Shaun, for taking a look at Foresight. If you’ve read Shaun’s review, need an enterprise forecasting solution, and want to learn how to leverage collaboration through software, you might want to contact us.
