IRI New Zealand Partners with Infotools for Flexible Consumer Insights

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Infotools, a global leader in market research analysis solutions, today announced that IRI New Zealand has adopted its cloud-based data analysis platform, Infotools Harmoni. Harmoni is purpose-built for market research data and gives IRI, a leading provider of predictive analytics and insights, the speed, flexibility and efficiency needed to better serve its clients.

Samantha Firsow, Consultant with IRI, said, "Infotools Harmoni has made our work so much more efficient. Once we've loaded in the data, we can go back and investigate it from multiple angles. Then sharing those insights with our clients is easy as well. Plus, when a new set of data comes in, Harmoni automatically updates it."

"Infotools Harmoni is going to play a huge role in helping us deliver better outcomes and offer more services to our clients. In the future, our goal is to not only start bringing more insights to the table, but to expand our consulting services as well," Firsow continued.

The IRI team needed a solution that would enable them to leverage their databases to quickly uncover actionable insights and ensure their clients have the data they need to make important, time-sensitive business decisions. By using Harmoni, IRI no longer wastes time going back and forth between spreadsheets to dig into their data. Instead, the team can explore and analyze the data within the platform and pull through visualizations with a few clicks of a mouse, giving them more time to focus on strategic value-added consulting services for their clients.

"IRI is the perfect example of how Infotools Harmoni can help research agencies transform workflows and their approach to insights," said Terry McCarthy, Account Director with Infotools. "The IRI team has some really great ideas about how to leverage Harmoni to start expanding the services they offer in New Zealand. We're looking forward to supporting them as they develop these new ideas."
