According to Daniela Jouet, managing director of SDi, "In order to maintain its position as a market research leader in Spain, the Sigma Dos Group has always listened to market demands and has acted upon them. With the call for online research in 2000, SDi was prompted to seek an alliance with Harris Interactive, experts in Internet-based technologies and methodologies. Using this new research platform will give us the edge we need to stay ahead of the competition in Europe."
