The I.T. Crowd

Acumen have certainly come a long way since their first footsteps into the fieldwork arena some 6 years ago. The majority of their time in those early days was spent deciphering profiles, hastily scribbled out by recruiters before being faxed to the team.

Now as one of the UK’s leading fieldwork agencies they often find that they need to be at the forefront of communication technology in order to deliver the high standards and best-practice procedures that their clients expect.

These past 12 months have seen the successful launch of Acumen’s own data-checking software, Acumonitor, designed to allow recruiters to screen and submit respondents through an online portal before it’s automatically checked for duplicate and fraudulent respondents. The buzz surrounding Acumonitor has been so great that several other field agencies have been making enquiries about acquiring a licence to the software for their own work in the field.

In addition to this, Acumen also recently invited their clients to join them in using Axcrypt; a simple but effective tool which enables users to encrypt sensitive data, ensuring that Acumen are always on the right side of Data Protection and their clients can work with complete peace of mind.”
