Without
Borders.
SIS International fields primary research across six continents with native-language moderators, locally verified respondent panels, and on-the-ground field management — not remote questionnaire dispatching from a single headquarters. When your decision depends on data from São Paulo, Riyadh, or Ho Chi Minh City, we have people there.
Noord-Amerika
Full-service research operations across the United States and Canada — from executive B2B interviews in Manhattan to consumer intercepts in suburban Texas, bilingual Hispanic panels in Miami, and French-Canadian focus groups in Montréal. SIS operates dedicated focus group facilities in New York City.

Latijns-Amerika
On-the-ground field teams across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Peru. Our LATAM practice navigates currency volatility, informal economy dynamics, and the regulatory diversity between Mercosur and Pacific Alliance markets — with Portuguese and Spanish native moderators.

Europa
Industry-specific research across the EU’s major economies — Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, the Nordics — plus emerging markets in Poland, Romania, and the Baltics. Our European practice addresses GDPR-compliant data collection, multi-language instrument harmonization, and the regulatory divergence between EU and post-Brexit UK frameworks.

Azië-Pacific
Coverage across China, Japan, South Korea, India, Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines), and Taiwan. Our APAC practice manages the methodological complexities of researching markets with vastly different digital ecosystems (WeChat vs. LINE vs. WhatsApp), business culture norms, and respondent incentive expectations.

Midden-Oosten
Research operations spanning Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. Our Middle East practice navigates Vision 2030 economic diversification, gender-segmented fieldwork protocols, Sharia-compliant financial product research, and the cultural specificity required for accurate qualitative work in GCC markets.

Afrika
Field operations across South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, and Côte d’Ivoire. Our Africa practice addresses low smartphone penetration in CAPI design, multilingual instrument development (Swahili, Yoruba, Hausa, Amharic), mobile-money payment infrastructure research, and the rapidly expanding tech hubs reshaping Lagos, Nairobi, and Cape Town.

Oceanië
Research coverage across Australia and New Zealand with access to both urban metropolitan panels (Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland) and regional/rural respondent networks. Our Oceania practice supports FMCG concept testing, mining and resources B2B research, and agricultural export market assessments.

Global Operations Apart
The difference between research that informs and research that misleads often comes down to fieldwork execution. Here’s how we protect data quality across 135+ countries.
Every qualitative engagement uses moderators who are native speakers with local market experience — not translators reading scripts. They understand cultural response norms, social desirability bias patterns, and how to probe effectively within local communication styles.
Our respondent verification process includes identity validation, professional credential checks for B2B panels, and digital fingerprinting to prevent duplicate participation — maintaining sample integrity across high-volume multi-country quantitative programs.
Multi-country research requires more than translation. We conduct cognitive debriefing, back-translation validation, and cultural adaptation of scales, stimuli, and response formats — ensuring cross-market comparability without sacrificing local relevance.
A single project lead coordinates every market. Clients receive unified reporting, consistent quality standards, and one point of accountability — not a fragmented chain of subcontracted local agencies with no shared methodology.
GDPR in the EU, PIPL in China, LGPD in Brazil, POPIA in South Africa — we manage data privacy compliance across every jurisdiction, so your legal team doesn’t have to audit each market independently.
Frontier and pre-emerging markets require adapted methodologies — CAPI instead of CAWI, in-person recruitment where panels don’t exist, and locally calibrated incentive structures. Our emerging market team has fielded in 40+ developing economies.
