IT Panel Partner and More Appointments for GMI
Software and panels firm GMI has announced a partnership with DNSstuff.com, which will enhance its ability to recruit IT panelists for its TechSay.com online IT panel. Meanwhile another sixteen staff have joined GMI this month, including Anthony Milano and Peter Grove as US-based Vice Presidents.
DNSstuff.com is a site used by around two million IT staff who need to manage, control and test domains and IPs. Through the partnership, these users will now have the opportunity to individually opt in to GMI's panel, and provide their opinions in exchange for TekPointsTM as a reward for their time.
Explaining why specialists such as DNSstuff.com are part of GMI's panel recruitment strategy, Executive Vice President, Business Development, Jim Weisfield said: 'By recruiting our B2B panelists from independent, highly qualified sources, we ensure best-of-breed respondent profiling and set a new panel quality standard in the industry.'
Arik Keller, COO of DNSstuff.com, adds: 'This partnership with TechSay.com will further empower our users to express their opinions on the future of technology while preserving our no-nonsense way of doing business.'
DNSstuff.com was named one of PC Magazine's Top 100 Sites in 2005 and can be found online at www.DNSstuff.com .
Milano becomes VP, Enterprise Solutions based in San Ramon, California. The Founder and President of Appian Analytics, which was recently acquired by GMI, will lead the development of advanced dashboarding and other emerging data delivery solutions to GMI's Enterprise Research Management vision. Before Appian, he was Co-Founder and President of Information Insights, a business intelligence software and healthcare data aggregation company sold in 2000 to HealthDataInsights.
Grove, who becomes VP/Controller in the firm's Mercer Island, Washington office, has more than 20 years of financial and business experience, most recently as Controller in the Seattle practice of executive services firm Tatum.
