NUI Business Research Institute to represent CustomerSat in Scandinavia

Menlo Park, California, USA -October 12, 1998 - CustomerSat.com, the leading provider of Internet-based custom market research and customer satisfaction and loyalty measurement services, has announced that NUI Business Research Institute, a Stockholm-based firm specializing in business-to-business market research, will represent CustomerSat.com in Scandinavia.

"Scandinavia has one of the highest penetrations of Internet usage in the world," said John Chisholm, president of CustomerSat.com. "We are delighted to be represented by NUI Business Research Institute in this strategic market."

"Customer satisfaction and market research and have moved beyond national boundaries," said Jrgen Johansson, president of NUI Business Research Institute. "Through our alliance with CustomerSat.com, both multinational and national companies in Scandinavia now have ready access to the most advanced Internet research technology on the market."

"NUI's partnership with CustomerSat.com will help Mici respond to the requirements of our largest customers faster and more effectively," said Bobby Forshell, president and managing director of Mici Electronics. Based in Stockholm, Mici is a leading subcontractor to telecommunications giants Ericsson and Siemens, and is responsible for field service and support for Nokia mobile phones in Sweden, Denmark and Norway.

The NUI partnership encompasses all of CustomerSat.com's technologies and solutions providing security, data integrity, respondent controls and real-time analysis for Internet surveys and focus groups. These technologies and solutions include:

  • Real-time Call Center Customer Satisfaction Measurement - selected customers who call a help desk, service center, or telemarketing center are automatically emailed invitations to Web surveys immediately after being served by a call center representative. Trend lines of customer satisfaction and other performance metrics are published in real-time on secure Web pages.
  • Positive Respondent Identification - to control who has access to a Web survey and preclude "ballot box stuffing."
  • Real Time Results - charts, statistics, verbatims, cross-tabs, quadrant charts, and trend lines are generated and updated on password-protected Web or Intranet pages as soon as respondents complete a survey.
  • PopUp technology - for assessing Web site visitor satisfaction and Web site effective-ness (a random sample of visitors are intercepted on the Web site through pop-up screens).
  • WebFocus groups - a combination of Web, email, and database technologies to deliver richer, more detailed, and more extensive qualitative insights than are possible with conventional conference room focus groups.

NUI has extensive experience in customer satisfaction research and is a leading provider of such data to Swedish conference centers. The company provided the first guest satisfaction study with benchmarking opportunities for participating centers. NUI will complement CustomerSat.com, Internet research technologies and solutions with its own design, analysis, and reporting capabilities, said Johansson. NUI specialties include quality assurance, benchmarking, and balanced scorecard analysis.

The non-exclusive partnership will accelerate the pace of Internet research in Scandinavia, according to Chisholm. "CustomerSat.com technologies provide the security, data integrity, respondent control, and real-time analysis for Internet research. The Internet provides the convenience, speed, economy and data quality. Together, they make the Internet the new medium of choice for gathering customer and market intelligence, both qualitative and quantitative."
