"ISD has lead the international expansion of our originally predominantly South African business with integrity, diligence and success. They have strongly improved the positioning of our product and have redesigned our marketing messages while leading our international business development efforts and guiding us to develop our international business perspective. ISD allows us to confidently and efficiently start and develop our North American business through the use of their sales expertise, day-to-day management, and resources, without our disrupting our South African activities. Their continuous and comprehensive advice which is offered through one contact manager, who has become part of our team, allows an ease of communication which seems to eliminate the cultural differences and distance between the international markets."

"We are very pleased with the work produced by ISD. We wanted a professional, simple, clear and concise piece of research to explore & validate the market potential for our product, and they responded. They delivered more participants than we had requested, developed the survey questions with little guidance from ourselves, and presented results in a creative and effective format. Our communications were at all times candid and constructive. They effectively worked to overcome the inevitable differences found between cultures, and where necessary they were very forceful and articulate in persuading us to adapt. We would be pleased to recommend ISD to others."
