Confirmit (OSE: FIRM), the world'ss leading provider of software for Market Research (MR) and Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM), today announced that Research House has licensed the
Confirmit MR platform for their online market research services. A market research agency specializing in fieldwork, data processing and data delivery, Research House has licensed the
Confirmit On-Demand software platform guaranteeing clients an up-time minimum of 99.7%.
Founded in 1976, Research House has roots in both quantitative as well as the qualitative research discipline and has grown along with the industry trends offering state-of-the-art focus
group facilities and call-centers, as well as cutting-edge online panel management, data collection and results delivery. A member of Environics Research Group, a multi-disciplined
international research and consulting group, Research House made the strategic decision for increased and ongoing investments in their online survey offering after reaching the
functionality and scalability limits with their previous software provider.
With intentions to grow their online survey and reporting activities by 30% in the coming year, Research House evaluated and entered a long-term agreement in early 2007 with Confirmit.
Research House selected Confirmit with plans to increase respondent engagement and improve the overall respondent experience with more customized surveys, advanced features and improved
design capabilities. Research House also plans to improve their results access and delivery with Confirmit Reportal'ss robust reporting platform.
Improving the respondent experience while increasing our survey and reporting capabilities to clients were critical factors in our selection process, said Mirjana Mihaljcic, Director of
Online Research, Research House. From the early stages of our evaluation process, Confirmit proved its reputation as a premier software company and leading technology in the industry.
As an established market research agency in Canada, Research House, maintains a long and growing client list, a large portion of which are other market research agencies that utilize
Research House'ss expertise and experience for their own data collection activities.
With a clear and strategic vision to grow our online business, Confirmit offered the advanced technology, scalability, and market-leading reputation that we were looking for, explained
Graham Loughton, Vice President and General Manager, Research House.
Confirmit will empower Research House to take the respondent experience and client report delivery to the next level while becoming more efficient and reducing total cost of ownership,
said Kjell Øksendal, Confirmit'ss Vice President of Marketing. As the industry standard for market research, Confirmit enables agencies to rapidly implement their own research innovations
while leveraging the most reliable and scalable platform available.
Confirmit'ss world-class EFM and MR platform can be licensed as Confirmit On-Demand or Confirmit On-Premise. Confirmit can be implemented in both online or offline locations and comes
with Confirmit Reportal bringing critical live insight into the world'ss board rooms.
