CIS management is
highly skilled, well educated, and very experienced in the competitive
intelligence field.
We take a conservative approach to competitive research -- and reject any
potential client that would have us do otherwise.
CIS management insures that our company
stands apart from other competitive intelligence practitioners in our strict
adherence to ethical guidelines, adherence to client-approved research
plans, expertise in primary research, and smart, thoughtful analysis of
findings.

CIS
recommends that clients consider using a wide range of methods to
secure competitive information. Among the best sources of
ACTIONABLE data are customer and/or prospect surveys.
For
larger CIS customer surveys
involving computer assisted telephone interviewing (known as CATI),
clients may securely access real-time reports (including
cross-tabulated data) via the
Internet. CIS customizes reports by project and client
requirements.
