Cooking a meal is a lot like conducting research—sometimes you need minimal help, like when making a sandwich, and other times you need all the support you can get, like when hosting a holiday party for a crowd. Just as you would want the right amount of assistance in the kitchen, having the right level of research support can make all the difference in your projects.
Like the culinary world, the world of research is diverse and demands different levels of support. No two projects are the same—some may be elaborate and time-consuming, while others are quick and budget-conscious. It’s crucial to partner with a research solutions provider that understands these variations and offers a range of support options to cater to your specific needs. So, grab your apron and let’s explore the different levels of research support Sago provides to help you find the perfect recipe for success.
Self-Serve: Grilled Cheese Style
With all the ingredients ready and a working stove, you can whip up insights on your own. If your project is quick-turn and relatively straightforward (much like a grilled cheese sandwich), you may want to consider using a digital research platform. Methodify, Sago’s automated quant research platform, is a self-serve option that allows you to do more research in less time with quick-turn, repeatable solutions. It’s a great tool when you need insights in hours, not days.
If you’re running a qualitative research project, QualBoard, Sago’s digital discussions platform, empowers you to design surveys, manage data, and conduct qualitative research all in one place. The platform is powered by built-in automation and AI, allowing you to save time, focus on the research, and jumpstart your analysis.
That said, self-serve doesn’t mean you’re all on your own. Think of it as being the chef of your research, with Sago’s support available whenever you need it.
Some Service: Potluck Party
For projects that require a bit more help but still allow you to bring your own creativity to the table, Sago’s Managed Services offer a middle ground. You can augment your research project with additional assistance as needed. Whether it’s survey and tab plan design, charting, creating topline summaries, or any other specific task, our expert team is here to bolster your insights endeavors. This level of support can be customized and added to any project, regardless of size or complexity. It’s like having a group of research-savvy friends contributing their unique dishes to make the party even more enjoyable.
Full Service: Thanksgiving Feast
When your research project is like hosting a lavish Thanksgiving feast for a large group, you’ll want the full support of Sago Strategy + Insight to provide end-to-end solutions. Just like having a professional chef and a team of experts working together seamlessly, Sago’s full-service offering takes care of everything from project design to data analysis and report generation. This level of support is ideal for complex projects or when you want to tap into our strategic expertise to maximize insights and make data-driven decisions.
Just as different meals require different levels of assistance in the kitchen, different research projects demand various levels of support. Whether you’re making a simple sandwich or hosting a grand feast, Sago’s managed services ensure you have the perfect recipe for success. Instead of getting overwhelmed in the research kitchen, partner with Sago to find the right level of support that suits your timelines, complexity, budget, and study length. Bon appétit!
