Silicon Valley Based Market Research Firm Launches Powerful New Client Collaboration Technology

San Jose, CA. - March 13, 2006 - Silicon Valley Research Group Inc. (www.siliconvalleyrg.com) announced today the public launch of its new client service portal-based offering named Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™. The new offering is based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Technology.

Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ provides Silicon Valley Research Group clients with a streamlined process to collaborate on market research projects. The portal-based solution acts as a repository for documents, project plans, datasheets, presentations and milestone updates. In effect, clients gain a window into the project through regular updates posted on the portal. Clients are encouraged to take an active role in the project process by viewing posted information as well as providing feedback during various project checkpoints. Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ is geared towards affording clients the flexibility of getting updates and staying current with information as the project progresses. Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ empowers clients with streamlined processes and productivity gains in working with the company on research projects.

Silicon Valley Research Group Inc. has been a power user of portal technology for communication with internal staff and clients for years, but the official launching of the new Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ cements the company’s dedication to staying ahead of the technology curve in order to meet client needs. "Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ is an invaluable tool for our clients and once again establishes our preeminent position in technology marketing. Silicon Valley Research Group is a frontrunner in the use of technology tools to streamline and improve the process of conducting successful market research projects,” shared Al Nazarelli, Silicon Valley Research Group Inc.’s President & CEO.

Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ is already being used by several of the company's clients. The main benefit is a significant increase in the speed of execution of projects, with the resultant improvement in time-to-market for new products. Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ has also been used to accelerate project execution on large scale global projects. The company recently conducted a major international project involving seven countries simultaneously and Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ was used to aggregate data from focus groups and site visit interviews from different time zones simultaneously to provide client personnel with real-time data feeds. Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ uses the metaphor of the Hollywood model for film location shooting with “daily rushes” provided to the production staff.

Silicon Valley Research Group Frontline™ represents a major innovative breakthrough and a continuation of the company’s tradition of groundbreaking methodologies in market research.
