[Denver, CO and Saskatoon, SK]: Lumivero, developers of popular qualitative data analysis software NVivo, announced today a partnership with itracks, creators of itracks Realtime and Board software platforms for qualitative data collection.

“We’re thrilled to be partnering with such established leaders in the world of qualitative research software,” said Garnette Weber, CEO and co-founder of itracks. “We’re proud of the innovations we’ve brought to the industry in terms of conducting focus groups, interviews, and online discussion boards, but we know that data collection is only half the story.
