February 7, 2008, NASHVILLE, TN - 20/20 Research, Inc., a Nashville-based marketing research services firm, announced today the signing of a long-term Agreement with Harborside Sales Group (HSG) of Baltimore, Maryland. HSG will license 20/20's Qualboard™ research software to include in their new ClientView program.

Qualboard™ is one of the research industry's leading tools for conducting online qualitative research using a bulletin board platform. In this discussion-like format, participants respond to questions from the moderator, as well as to comments from the other participants. An intuitive interface makes these discussion "threads" easy to follow.

Harborside's ClientView is a first-of-its-kind program, developed exclusively to support the qualitative research needs of financial services firms, such as mutual fund companies, brokerage firms, and banks. According to HSG's Founder, Brian Nelson, "Quantitative research has long been a staple in this industry. Now, with ClientView, for the first time, our clients can begin to uncover the underlying buying decisions made by their clients. Several of our clients have had a 'sneak peak' at ClientView and are excited to begin using the program."

Steve Henke, President of 20/20, said, "We couldn't be more enthusiastic about this partnership. Working with Harborside gives us an immediate presence in the investment community... a community, that until now, had no real history of conducting online qualitative research."
