Chicago-based market research firm Information Resources Inc. (IRI) said it was ranked as a top solution provider for demand data analytics for the small and medium business market in a recent Readers’ Choice survey published in Consumer Goods Technology magazine. This was the third consecutive year in which IRI received the ranking.
