According to Isaac Rogers, 20/20's Director of Product Innovation, "QualJournal provides researchers and their study participants with a safe and private virtual venue for conducting in-depth qualitative research. Similar to popular blogging sites, QualJournal also provides the researcher with a "management console" to monitor and communicate with all participants, as well as a simple one-touch button for downloading transcripts. As importantly, QualJournal is one of the most cost-effective platforms in the industry."
"With QualJournal as our fifth online platform, 20/20 cements its position as the number one provider of online qualitative research software solutions in the world," states Jim Bryson, 20/20 Research's founder. "As a result of our technology, recruiting capabilities and world-class client support, our online business has increased by 47% this year alone."

Imagine conducting studies about eating habits during the lunch hour, on computer use at the office while the participants are at work or on TV viewing habits during prime time while participants are watching TV."
"With more than 85% of 18-29 year-olds and 65% of 30-49 year-olds having some 'texting' experience, QualAnywhere represents a unique methodology for conducting qualitative research that fits with today's mobile lifestyle. In addition, with more than 75 billion messages sent every month, this is a technology that will be an important part of our 'connected' culture for some time to come."
Using QualAnywhere is easy. First, study participants are recruited just like in other types of studies. Then, over a period of days or weeks, they receive the researcher's predetermined questions at specified times and simply text-back their responses. All responses are automatically gathered and sorted into the study transcript.

]]>QualBoardTM allows researchers to gather input from study participants regardless of geography or time of day. Study participants respond to questions posted by a moderator, as well as to comments from the other participants. This online qualitative research is especially suited to on-going product usage studies, for highly specialized audiences and for topics that are sensitive or very personal in nature. Because of the longer timeframes for these types of studies, comments from participants provide very in-depth customer insights.
In addition to the new image handling capabilities, QualBoardTM V2.1.2 benefits from overall improvements in performance, boasting a 5-35% decrease in screen loading times, depending on the project.

]]>According to Steve Henke, President at 20/20, "The last barrier for conducting face-to-face, online qualitative research internationally was the incredibly high cost of the overseas phone calls. We've eliminated those. Now researchers can take full advantage of our QualMeetingTM - nearly anywhere in the world - and not worry about having to deal with those expenses."
These new telephony enhancements have also added to the output options of QualMeetingTM. In addition to the online video recording previously available, users can down download an audio-only MP3 file immediately after the close of a QualMeetingTM study - at no additional charge.
QualMeetingTM, developed for market researchers who want to conduct live, online 1-on-1 interviews and focus groups, takes advantage of webcam technology and streaming video to provide a new generation of software for "face to face" research. It combines the convenience, cost savings and broad-reaching recruiting of online research with the real-time responses and the sights and sounds of in-person meetings.
