PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Conjointly and Cint have gone live with a partnership to improve data quality and reduce survey fraud
The Papua New Guinea Education Department has unveiled its My Project Management System ( MPMS ) software .
The partnership allows Conjointly and Cint to directly connect via a server-to-server integration , effectively eliminating ghost completes – fraudulent survey responses that appear to be complete but lack any real data from a respondent . Respondent status updates are handled through secure API calls between servers , eliminating interference risks by keeping critical data flows behind the scenes .
Nik Samoylov , Founder of Conjointly , said : “ Data quality and fraud prevention have been long-standing challenges in the market research industry . By integrating with Cint , we help Conjointly users receive high-quality insights from real , engaged respondents .”
Harvey Tran , Head of Customer Success ANZ , Cint , said : “ We strongly believe that this partnership will yield great results for their users , taking the next step in the continued development of industry best practice .”
MPMS has been developed local software firm INDTechlabs based in Port Moresby to offer a robust set of tools designed to empower project managers in tracking various aspects of project performance until completion .
Indira Ramesh , Managing Director , INDTechlabs , said the user-friendly nature of the software ensured accessibility for department personnel . Prior to the official launch , extensive training sessions were conducted with project managers and departmental staff to facilitate a seamless transition to the new system . The introduction of MPMS is said to represent a significant advance in the department ’ s quest for efficient project management and accountability .
