CloudResearch and InnovateMR jointly announce a strategic partnership to improve data quality, addressing the most pressing challenge facing the online survey industry. 

Industry-wide data quality challenges identified:

  • A recent CASE4Quality industry-wide study found that >30% of survey data was identified as low quality and required removal from final data sets. 
  • Even when implementing widely-used tech-based fraud solutions, 20-25% of survey data remained unusable. 
  • Inattentive and fraudulent respondents, survey farms, and bots account for the majority of bad actors and unreliable data in the online survey ecosystem. 
  • Online survey fraud leads to false conclusions, costing time and money to suppliers, market research firms, and end-clients.

To address systemic fraud in the sample industry, InnovateMR conducted an extremely rigorous test of Sentry®: a novel data quality solution by CloudResearch with unique behavioral+technological vetting.

Rigorous testing was conducted over a 6-month period and demonstrated that Sentry® improved data quality and added immense value by reducing reconciliation rates.

“Building a novel data quality tool like Sentry® took a great deal of development and validation. I take it as a personal badge of honor that InnovateMR, a leader in the quality space, has seen the unique value in our approach and chose us as their data quality partner. I am looking forward to working together with the InnovateMR team and to seeing the continued quality benefits that Sentry® will provide to InnovateMR and their clients.” 

Leib Litman, Chief Research Officer at CloudResearch

In addition, we have just welcomed market-research veteran Sarah Adkins to our leadership team as Vice President of Quality & Research. Her role will ensure that our team and technologies stay vigilant and ready for the new evolutions of survey fraud to come, and develop novel and industry-leading quality solutions with CloudResearch.”
