We decided to use PreScouter to test out their service. Once we started the project, and the data started coming in, we realized that we were learning a lot of interesting things. As we drilled down further and further, the majority of items turned out to be very useful. My opinion went from PreScouter being a service "it could not hurt to try" to being a service that produced very valuable results.

The insights PreScouter provides help us build new product solutions. Throughout the stage-gated process, PreScouter's insights challenge us and cause us to think outside of the box. If we would have done the research ourselves it would have taken us many months to complete.
