4sight now contributing to World Community Grid


4sight is now contributing the idle processing power of it's computers to the World Community Grid. See how the 4sight team is doing here.

About World Community Grid (taken from http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org)
"World Community Grid's mission is to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity.

Our work has developed the technical infrastructure that serves as the grid's foundation for scientific research. Our success depends upon individuals collectively contributing their unused computer time to change the world for the better.

World Community Grid is making technology available only to public and not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of our commitment to advancing human welfare, all results will be in the public domain and made public to the global research community.

Current Research projects include:
Help Conquer Cancer
FightAIDS@Home
Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2
Discovering Dengue Drugs – Together
AfricanClimate@Home

New Online Surveys

Online surveys are a new service available to 4sight clients. 4sight consultants can develop questionnaires which are then ‘hosted’ on the 4sight website. We have already implemented online surveys for several clients which have provided them with valuable insights for strategy development. Whilst many companies appreciate the importance of customer surveys the cost of implementation by telephone or post have meant they have only been undertaken infrequently. An online survey provides a cost effective solution which can be implemented quickly and repeated on a regular basis.
