New

NEW YORK, OSLO, Norway and LONDON, OCTOBER 8, 2021 — Forsta, the leading Customer Experience and Research Technology company, today announced updates to Dapresy, its award-winning data visualisation SaaS platform for the market research and customer experience (CX) insights industries. The global technology company has added new features to enhance Dapresy’s reporting capabilities across its StoryCreator and StoryTeller tools, which enable data storytellers to build compelling, impactful PowerPoint presentations in record time.

“As the landscape for consumer insights technology continues to evolve, we’re seeing a larger need for visual storytelling,” said Brian Bhuta, Chief Product Officer, Forsta. “It’s more important than ever for research, marketing and CX professionals to be able to make data come to life as compelling, engaging visual content. These new enhancements to Dapresy will help industry professionals communicate more clearly and effectively, supporting them in driving business impact.”

“Forsta’s Dapresy platform enables us to seamlessly turn the data and insights we generate for our clients into the type of captivating visual storytelling that engages and influences key stakeholders,” said Mike Nash, President of global marketing research and consulting firm KS&R. “KS&R has been an avid proponent of the Dapresy technology for years, and we’re excited at how this new functionality will benefit our ability to serve our clients across a variety of our key industries and sectors.”

The Dapresy enhancements include:

  • New ability to export StoryTeller reports to PowerPoint as native charts and tables, providing support for sophisticated editing in the PowerPoint environment. Chart layout can be amended, chart type can be changed, and data series can be edited, removed and added.
  • New layout master template function in StoryCreator, which allows users to upload their own corporate design PowerPoint layout master template to the data report, enabling easier, more efficient presentation creation when working with sophisticated layouts. Now, just as in PowerPoint, users can select any available slide layout template to start off with when creating a new slide in StoryCreator.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
