Description
The things that set us apart from most of our competitors are as follows:
- One point of contact.
- Limited time windows make it difficult dealing with multiple agencies spread across different time zones. Our Project Managers work extended hours to have the information ready for you – when you need it.
- Having worked with our partners for many years, we have tried and tested ways of working. This enables consistent approaches and methodologies and results in outstanding levels of quality control at every research stage (translations, recruitment, moderation and deliverables).
- No language barriers. All our international project managers speak English fluently Local knowledge.
- Our local partners live and work in the countries being researched. This gives them an intimate knowledge of their health care systems – not only as researchers but also as users. They have formed close relationships with healthcare professionals so respondents are often more candid, more willing to help and more available.
- Our partners can advise on whether a project is feasible or not in their market; which methodologies work best; who the most appropriate respondents are and what time lines are feasible.
- Our staff have conducted hundreds of international projects. They understand that international research requires consistent approaches, methodologies and standards.
- Our bilingual International Project Managers have decades of experience of managing complex international projects all over the world. They are used to working in different time zones, being flexible and responding quickly to client requests.
- Our translators, transcribers and analysts are all highly experienced medical professionals. They all have a deep technical understanding of complex medical research areas. Our translators ensure that appropriate medical vocabulary is used and cultural nuances are captured. Our analysts are adept at providing local actionable insight and bringing out country differences.
- Our resources are adapted for conducting international research: local offices, native bilingual staff and some of the largest database of HCPs in the industry which enables us to provide very representative samples and turn projects around quickly.
