Pipal Offers Speedy Information Search

Chicago-based agency Pipal Research has introduced PipalAnswers - a new online custom research service designed to offer fast, low-cost access to business research. The service gives access to a team of professionals who search for and collect relevant data from subscription and industry databases and the Internet.

Clients contact the PipalAnswers web site (www.pipalanswers.com) with a research query and, in less than eight hours, receive a response with additional questions, budget estimate and estimated timeline. The company can then provide the necessary answers in as little as 24 hours. Businesses can choose from three formats: pay-per-use, pre-paid subscriptions, or complete outsourcing via a branded help desk.

The company quotes a recent study by IDC, 'The Hidden Costs of Information Work,' which found that knowledge workers spend 24% of their time searching for and analysing information - at an annual cost of more than $28,000 per employee. Sanjeev Arora, VP, Products and Operations at Pipal, believes PipalAnswers can help organisations work more efficiently and productively, saying he has 'seen first hand how data overload, shorter deadlines and constrained in-house resources are putting increased pressure on decision makers'.

The company is online at www.pipalresearch.com
