ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 21 -- Harris Interactive(R) has introduced GlobalSynch(SM), its next generation global synchronized research platform. This integrated web-based system now provides increased speed, greater accuracy and easy real-time access to research data collected anywhere in the world regardless of collection mode.

GlobalSynch is ideally suited for: quick turnaround projects where instantaneous access to results is important; situations that require access to integrated, enterprise-level business intelligence; and studies using multiple sample sources - including customer data.

"Our vision to create an integrated platform to conduct and share multi- mode research on a global basis has been realized, and we are now offering its many advantages to our clients," said David Vaden, president of North America and global operations. "Truly the first of its kind, GlobalSynch has the power to synchronize millions of online and telephone surveys administered around the world, while giving our clients customized access to those data in real- time."

  Harris Interactive GlobalSynch provides:

  --  Superior data access - web-based platform provides real-time access to
      consolidated survey data - any time or any place.

      'manage' projects and frees up time to think, analyze and provide
       insight.

      conversion/aggregation errors.
  --  Strengthened security - integrated system reduces opportunities for
      unauthorized data access and provides greater protection of
      confidential information.
  --  Improved consistency and enhanced coverage - truly global system
      integrates and synchronizes all data collection processes; improves
      administration and supervision of multi-lingual, multi-country, multi-
      mode studies; and reduces coverage errors and non-response bias.
