2020/03/26

 GMO Research, Inc. (CEO: Shinichi Hosokawa; hereinafter referred to as "GMO Research") is expanding its online research business and has concluded an Asia-exclusive sales agreement with Interactive Tracking Systems, Inc. (head office: Ontario, Canada; CEO: Dan Weber; hereinafter referred to as "itracks"), a supplier of online qualitative survey tools.
 
 Provision of the cloud solution service “MO Insights by GMO” (hereinafter referred to as “MO Insights”), which incorporates itracks' online qualitative survey tool into the GMO Research research system “GMO Market Observer”, an online survey platform to enable a one-stop cloud solution for panel use and online quantitative and qualitative surveys, is due to start today, March 26th.
 “MO Insights” enables users to complete not only quantitative surveys using questionnaires, but also qualitative surveys involving consumer interviews online, without face-to-face interviews.
 

 

Background

Many business settings are recently being moved online due to concerns about the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19), and a rapid increase in the need for online resources is expected in the area of face-to-face offline surveys.

GMO Research owns the cloud network “ASIA Cloud Panel”, which enables online consumer research of more than 33 million people in 15 countries and regions in Asia.(1) This cloud network is used to provide the DIY research system “GMO Market Observer”, which can be used for questionnaire surveys. With the idea that “GMO Market Observer” could be used to offer qualitative surveys online, in addition to conventional quantitative surveys, GMO Research has focused its interest on the itracks online qualitative survey engine.

GMO Research has therefore concluded an Asia-exclusive sales agreement with itracks for their online qualitative survey tool, integrated the itracks tool into the “GMO Market Observer” online survey platform, and started to offer “MO Insights”, which enables a one-stop solution for panel use and online quantitative and qualitative surveys.
