Automate On-Line Surveys with SecondBase QA

If you've ever put together a mailing before, you know how difficult (and painful) it is to make sure everything is exactly right before it gets delivered to the Post Office. Now, with SecondBase QA from Think Computer, you don't have to worry about postage or envelope weight anymore. SecondBase QA lets you put surveys on the World Wide Web, where your respondents can access them quickly and easily. This means higher response rates, lower costs, and best of all, easier and more accurate analysis of results.

Accurate

With automatic error-checking during the survey completion process, SecondBase QA ensures that your respondents enter data correctly, so that you don't have to double-check it later on by hand. You can customize required fields, designate field types (such as numbers, percentages, dates, multiple choice, check boxes, and free-response boxes) and also designate an “Other” field for any question, no matter what type.

Universal

SecondBase QA supports multiple languages, so that you can set up several versions of the survey simultaneously. The benefits are multi-fold, as you can expand your respondent base, and use the additional demographic information to reveal interesting trends in your data.

Fast

Our blazing-fast database engine tops Microsoft SQL Server 2000 SP2 and IBM DB2 7.2 FP5 in throughput tests conducted by eWEEK Labs. In plain English, that means it's fast. You'll enjoy incredibly quick response times and greater flexibility as your response tables increases in size. SecondBase QA is designed to store tens of thousands of records. If there ever is a decrease in speed, it will only be on the order of seconds, which nice to know when you have to analyze large data sets.

Simple

Your respondents won't be confused by any technical jargon or cumbersome processes. SecondBase QA surveys look just like paper surveys, except that they're electronic!

Trustworthy

SecondBase QA runs on the Think Lampshade Professional platform, ensuring the security of your sensitive data. If any of your survey data is especially sensitive, we can work with you to encrypt any fields that you deem necessary. Think is also an authorized reseller of GeoTrust SSL certificates, so that your respondents' answers can be encrypted during transmission over the internet, as well.

Useful

For researchers, the best part of SecondBase QA is the Statistics section, where you can look over the responses to your surveys in aggregate. Find averages, total columns, and map out relationships, all in one place, without having to export to external data analysis software—though that's also an option.

Easy Setup

All you need to use SecondBase QA is a Think web site hosting account, an internet connection, and a graphical web browser. That's it!
