| The beginning . . . |
|
Engaged in electronic systems integration since 1985, ORTEK personnel began providing innovative product solutions for the market research industry. The Perception Analyzer (PA) was the first-generation system, setting the stage for future real-time, group-polling systems. State-of-the-art computer technology was applied to address the demanding requirements for audience response measurement and group data collection. For the first time, a powerful tool was placed in the hands of market research professionals. It revolutionized the primary data collection methodology for many qualitative and quantitative research applications. Now researchers can see the results displayed in real-time while a group registers its responses. ORTEK's response-measurement technology has proved to be the most accurate and efficient means of determining a group's consensus on any topic or test material. The data accuracy and value, coupled with the reduction in processing time/labor, results in significant cost savings for ORTEK's customers.

| ODS and the Preference Analyzer . . . |
|
Shortly after its incorporation in 1988, ORTEK Data Systems introduced the second-generation group polling system, the Preference Analyzer. It achieved rapid success and found its way into many research-related applications in business and education. In 1989, the Rapid Analysis and Testing Environment (RATE) was introduced as an integrated system solution for those researchers measuring group reactions to audio/visual presentations. The RATE system, with its real-time, video overlay capability, enabled agency clients to save large sums of advertising money by helping to identify flaws during the pre-testing of ads – before they were broadcast.

In 1992, ODS began shipping its low-cost EXPRESS 300 system, which featured, for the first time, a powerful combination of a keypad and dial on the same response device. The EXPRESS 300 represented a dramatic breakthrough in price and put group response measurement technology into the hands of those professional researchers requiring it. In 1995, ODS introduced its first wireless system, the EXPRESS 500. Continuing to demonstrate its leadership, ODS is now shipping its second-generation wireless system, the EXPRESS 700. The EXPRESS 700 continues to offer the proven and versatile keypad/dial combination used in earlier models, due to its ergonomic benefits and popularity. Constantly striving for improvement, each successive model has added new features, such as: greater capacity, more functionality, extended presentation graphics, greater speed, better portability, or enhanced user interface.
