FocusVision Praised by Shoreditch Studios in Recent Publication

Stamford, CT (March 6, 2006) FocusVision Worldwide, the industry's leading global technology provider for market research, recently received high praise in the publication, Finding and Hiring a Viewing Facility. This special publication accompanied the February issue of Research magazine, which explored the latest IT trends in the Market Research industry.

There are seven sections in Finding and Hiring a Viewing Facility. In the fourth section, “How is Viewing Facility Technology Evolving?” Jeannette Martins, Studio Manager at London’s Shoreditch Studios addressed the following question: “Could web streaming be the technology that transforms the qualitative experience?”

Jeannette offered her suggestion for the Essential Kit, or technology, that all facilities should make available to their clients: Web Streaming, Digital Recording, and plasma screen televisions.

She goes on to say: “With web streaming you can watch a group from anywhere in the world, at any time. There’s no need to wait for DVDs to be edited and posted. The rise of web stream supremos FocusVision has also helped set a global standard. Their VideoMarker service is particularly useful.”

Shoreditch maintains a competitive edge by offering FocusVision’s web-streaming (or as we call it “VideoStreaming”) and VideoMarker services. VideoStreaming enables clients to view live focus groups from the convenience of their PCs wherever they have an Internet connection. Recordings of the projects are provided on CD and via a web-archive for later review. The included VideoMarker service allows clients to bookmark highlights of their projects while they view and then quickly access those moments from the CD or archive. Clients can also create video clips for livelier presentations and reports.

“Everyday we strive to provide our facility members with the highest quality services to offer their customers,” said Kevin Sheehan, Director of Coordination & Facility Relations. “Receiving this kind of recognition from one of our facilities means that we’re accomplishing this goal and we’re very proud of that.”
