‘After receiving SPSS training from Jan a few years back, we hired him to do some complex data preparation and analysis on a yearly basis. A very important part of academic research is making sure that the data is analyzed carefully and in a justified manner. Jan has not only taught us a lot but he has consistently delivered excellent work, new insights and much needed support, even after office hours.’

KPN
Optimizing the KPN consumer panel
‘Jan is really the SPSS guru. He ensures that the dataset is or becomes of good quality. From a huge dataset (KPN’s consumer panel of 20K per Q), he made various analyzes just to find out, those insights which will not come to surface with normal frequencies. He developed a good driver analysis which not only predicted who went away and for what reasons, but also profiled the socio-demographics and interests of customers. Furthermore, Jan ensured that the knowledge of SPSS in the team became higher. He did this by giving good workshops in which our own data was used. The forth coming results could be applied directly.’
‘In terms of a person, Jan is easy and comfortable to interact with. For questions (especially regarding to SPSS data analysis) you can always ask him and he will explain clearly what to do and support you to achieve the results you want to get.’
