Corus

Corus is bridging the gap between DIY market research and full-service custom research. In practice that means managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

Who is it for? Mostly small and mid-sized companies. They also list Analytics, Market Research, Price Comparison and Retail Technology, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Corus is based in Denver, Colorado and founded in 2014. Their site is cor.us.

Our checklist for this category: response SLAs, onboarding, and what is billed per hour. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Corus, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
