Sysomos Inc. is a Toronto-based social media analytics company.

The company uses content of social media sites including blogs, forums and Twitter to create a real-time picture on how products, people, and brands are covered in those media sites.[1] It is designed to analyze conversations, themes and identify key influencers.

Company's flagship product, Media Analysis Platform (MAP), mines and analyzes content from social media or user-generated content.[2][3]

The company also offers Sysomos Heartbeat which provides social media monitoring and engagement capabilities to communication professionals, brand managers and customer support groups.[4] In 2013, Heartbeat was extended to add publishing components to deliver a holistic end-to-end social media marketing platform.[5]

On July 6, 2010, it was announced that Marketwire, a press release distribution company, had acquired Sysomos.[6]

History

Sysomos was founded by Nilesh Bansal and Dr. Nick Koudas. The company is a spinoff of the University of Toronto research project BlogScope. The BlogScope project, which started in 2005, resulted in creation of the underlying content aggregation and analysis engine commercialized by Sysomos. The company raised venture capital in 2008 and was acquired by Marketwire in 2010.

Sysomos launched its flagship offering MAP in Sept 2007, followed by addition of Heartbeat to its product suite in 2009. In addition to the two main products, the company released FourWhere, a free location-based social search service that mashes up Foursquare in March 2010.[7]

Reports

The company is also credited for publishing research reports on social media focusing particularly on Twitter, YouTube and Facebook.
