Release of Confirmit v8.5
FIRM (Future Information Research Management) has released a new version of its flagship software system Confirmit. Online and offline reporting capabilities are enhanced, survey generation is faster and overall performance improved by up to 1200%.
Confirmit v8.5, released onto FIRM's ASP environments in London and New York on May 8th, includes a powerful new survey engine built on Microsoft .NET technology. In recent tests at Microsoft Windows ISV Lab in Redmond, WA, Confirmit 8.5 confirmed state of the art levels of stability, performance and capacity with the new engine handling up to 50 times higher capacity with the same hardware setup.
Confirmit 8.5 includes a new version of its reporting platform Reportal(tm), which according to VP of Marketing Kjell Øksendal 'can reduce report creation and delivery from weeks and months to just days or hours'. Among other features this allows Confirmit users to define a master report and instantly provide thousands of report end users with their own personalized report on the web, in MS PowerPoint and MS Excel format. Also new is definition of weight models, significance testing and banner (crossbreak) definition for comprehensive cross-tabulations.
'The new survey engine will especially benefit market research professionals who need to deploy complex and lengthy surveys at speed' says Øksendal, 'and their employer who will utilize their hardware infrastructure for their online data collection more cost effectively'.
FIRM is headquartered in Oslo and has offices in London, New York and San Francisco. In addition Confirmit is distributed through partner resellers in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Sydney and Tokyo. Its web site is at www.confirmit.com
