SSI Named 2014 Confirmit ACE Award Winner -- Also Awarded Honorable Mention for ‘Best Use of Feedback Solutions’ --
“These Confirmit ACE Award honors recognize the value SSI generates as it works in true partnership with its clients,” said Michel Guidi, SSI’s managing director for Europe and senior vice president of professional services. “Our partnership with Epiphany allows for this specific project to deliver highly customized, engaging and insightful questionnaires and data sets, spanning many countries, languages and categories while exceeding industry standards and flexibility.”
The project kicked off in early 2013 and covers three business groups at a large international electronics manufacturer. In total, it includes 12 categories, each divided into multiple product and country combinations.
The questionnaires are designed to be highly customized, engaging and provide insight into consumers’ decision journey. It delves into the way consumers research product information and form decisions before purchasing products or services.

“This was a complex project. The decision-making process is a circular journey with four phases: initial consideration; active evaluations, or the process of researching potential purchases; closure, when consumers buy the brand; and post purchase, when consumers experience the product or service,” explained Jan Kienhuis, founder of Epiphany. “Only a company with the global scale, capacity and research consultation skills of SSI could successfully support a project of this size and scope. SSI’s advice and flawless execution are essential to the project’s success. Our clients are delighted with the insights they gain as a result.”
“This project exemplifies SSI’s ability to deliver large, complex and actionable research,” added Guidi. Epiphany is responsible for study design and analysis while SSI provides programming, translations, sample, data delivery and customized formats.
