The deal will see Revelation’s mobile and web apps integrated with the FocusVision product suite, with Revelation founder Steve August becoming FocusVision’s chief innovation officer.

August said: “Qualitative research has seen an explosion of new technology over the last ten years, but researchers have needed to go to separate providers for both face-to-face and digital methods. Through joining forces, we are able to provide all-encompassing qualitative research support.”

Eric Grosgogeat, FocusVision’s CEO, added: “Before making this acquisition, we evaluated the different qualitative research platforms and selected Revelation because of its cutting edge design, unique activity-based approach and ability to support a myriad of qualitative methods including bulletin boards, mobile diaries, projective and innovation exercises.”
