HyperRESEARCH

A commercial application for qualitative analysis developed for ResearchWare, Inc.

HyperRESEARCH is one of the leading software packages for qualitative research.

When we were first approached to make a cross-platform version, the shipping version was Mac-only and had a much smaller feature set. Working from an early version for Mac developed in SuperCard, we converted the code and objects to MetaCard and refined the existing feature set while adding new features as we went.

By focusing on a truly cross-platform implementation, HyperRESEARCH is currently the only qualitative analysis tool which allows research teams to share work regardless of which operating system team members may prefer.

Based on the results of extensive interviews with representative users, we are currently working on a new version with significant new features.

"We needed to port our product from SuperCard to Metacard and our programmer needed to move on to other projects. After contacting several of the programmers listed at Metacard's web site, it was evident that FourthWorld and Richard Gaskin were the right fit.

"These guys are great! They can take your code and make it better, they can take your idea and produce it from scratch, they can make it run fast and look pretty. We've now worked with Fourth World for several years enhancing and updating our HyperRESEARCH product which is in distribution worldwide."
