Abt Launches Data Solutions Division

In the US, public sector-focused research provider Abt Associates has combined the capabilities of its Abt SRBI survey and research unit with its Client Technology Center, to create a new arm called the Data Science, Surveys and Enabling Technologies division.

Headquartered in New York City, with multiple offices across the US as well as in more than 40 countries, the firm offers a full range of research services for public opinion and public policy surveys as well as market research. Its new division will integrate its experience of complex data capture with its ability to 'normalize, analyze and convert data into insights'.

Michael Link (pictured), who leads the new division, comments: 'For more than 50 years, Abt has collected and used high-quality data to help clients understand and solve some of the most pressing problems - everything from halting the spread of the Zika virus to conducting large-scale surveys that help us uncover causes of fatal crashes among young drivers and find solutions to prevent them. As our clients rapidly adopt technology-based, complex data solutions, we bring the best and brightest together to comprehensively serve all of their data needs to help them make better-informed decisions'.
