The use of the internet for quantitative research emerged and grew in the 1990s. In the early days there were doubts about its efficacy — Was it representative? Yet, as confidence in its use grew, online research experienced explosive growth, and today, according to the ESOMAR industry reports, online is the most widely used method worldwide for quantitative research.
New technologies also allow for improvements in data processing capabilities and overall speed of delivery. The move to online reporting offers numerous advantages, including speed, cost, flexibility, reliability, security and accessibility. A well designed online reporting system can be far more elegant and easier to use than comparable offline systems.
For example this dashboard illustrates the use of a single interface to sift through the multiple services and touch points in a ficticious customer experience study.
