New Version of Kinesis Community™ Provides Superior Support for the Latest Touchscreen Devices and Easy One-Click Deployment

AUSTIN, TX (June 29, 2011) – Kinesis Survey Technologies LLC (Kinesis), the industry leader for future-proof market research software solutions, today announced the release of a new version of Kinesis Community™ that enables easy one-click deployment and full support for the latest generation touchscreen mobile devices.

Kinesis Community™ is a flexible and interactive community website solution that comes bundled with Kinesis’ comprehensive panel management application, Kinesis Panel™. The new version was developed to provide an intuitive and low-cost portal solution – with superior mobile device support and multilingual capabilities – for market research online communities (MROCs). Kinesis Community™ enables researchers to quickly and easily deploy panelist community websites in multiple languages that can be accessed from any web-enabled device including the latest generation touchscreen mobile devices such as Apple’s iPad2 and iPhone4, Blackberry Playbook, Motorola Zoom and other Google Android Honeycomb based devices.

“Kinesis Community provides out-of-the-box support across all web devices, which is critical since researchers cannot control which device types their panelists will use when accessing portals,” said Juha Vehnia, Kinesis CTO. “Additionally, this solution provides unparalleled ease of use for set up and deployment. Researchers can create feature-rich portals that can be up and running in as little as fifteen minutes.”

Using customizable themes and layouts and a wide selection of page templates and widgets, branded portals are designed and launched from the Kinesis Panel™ user interface. The portals enable panelists to access available surveys, review participation history, track rewards, refer friends, manage account settings, and more. Kinesis Community™ also offers QR codes that can be linked to the portal URL to aid in mobile panel recruitment since users can simply scan the QR code rather than typing in a lengthy web address. Functionality planned for inclusion in the next release of Kinesis Community™ includes social media features, blogs and mini-polls, all operating seamlessly across device types.

“Kinesis is committed to the ongoing enhancement of Kinesis Community™ to ensure it maintains its place as the most comprehensive and flexible portal website solution,” Vehnia added, “and to ensure Kinesis’ longstanding leadership position in providing robust solutions for mobile-enabled market research.”
