New release of SurveyTracker E-Mail/Web survey software from Training Technologies automates and simplifies the task of gathering feedback.

May 08, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
CINCINNATI, OH Feedback - from customers, employees, and vendors - is the key to an organization's continued success. Thanks to Training Technologies’ new 5.0 version of SurveyTracker E-Mail/Web survey software, organizations gain the power they need to create online surveys and questionnaires to gather valuable feedback with ease. SurveyTracker’s newest features automate the process to the point where even people who have never done a web survey before can get a survey online in a short amount of time.

One of the most anticipated features of the newly released version 5.0 of SurveyTracker E-Mail/Web is the new web survey auto-host service. Auto-hosting a web survey on SurveyTracker's web server is an easy way to put a survey online without involving the user’s own organization's IT department or outside service provider. With Auto-Host, the user simply sets up their survey in SurveyTracker and selects Auto-Host to access the SurveyTracker server at surveytracker.net. Then, the user uploads their survey directly through SurveyTracker and the survey goes online immediately. It's completely automated and secure. SurveyTracker is one of only a few survey software packages on the market to offer this automated feature.

Free Prewritten Surveys and Style Templates
New Survey and Style Libraries are another major enhancement to SurveyTracker 5.0. Libraries store pre-loaded templates and content created by the user. The Style Library includes a wide variety of color and layout templates that can be used to help reduce the survey design time. The Survey Library includes over 100 free surveys that can be used as-is or modified to fit the user’s need. The surveys are divided into categories that include the most common types of surveys, such as Customer Satisfaction, Health Care Satisfaction Surveys, Employee Surveys, Training, Market Research, Educational surveys, and more. These surveys, have been developed by experts in their fields. Surveys like these would normally cost hundreds of dollars to purchase or take several hours to research and design, but they are now being offered at no cost to SurveyTracker 5.0 users.

The Question, Message and Image Libraries have been enhanced for easier use. The various SurveyTracker Libraries combine to dramatically decrease the development cycle of a survey and allow the user to distribute a survey that much faster.

Additional new and enhanced features in SurveyTracker 5.0 include:
· New Wizard interfaces that guide the user effortlessly through the tasks of creating a survey to developing reports from the results.
· The flexibility to distribute a survey using a combination of up to nine different methods, including web surveys with optional auto-host capability, e-mail, and paper.
· Ability to export surveys and reports to industry-standard PDF files in order to e-mail or distribute the survey or the reports to management, employees, etc.
· Enhanced survey design features such as support for up to 6 scales per question with 300 scale choices, Skip and Hit patterns, Response Piping, N/A Responses, Response Validation, image support, and more.
· Audience List with support for up to 300 fields.
· Extensive Filtering and Sorting capabilities in order to pinpoint the exact data the user wants to see in their reports.
· Import and Export capabilities with compatible programs such as Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, and SPSS.

About SurveyTracker ®
Back in the late 1980’s the only way an organization could do a survey was to either hire an expensive market research firm to do a survey for them or juggle several software products and import and export data to create a survey, distribute the survey and then create reports—not to mention all of the steps in between. As a Training and Quality consulting firm, Training Technologies developed a software package that was used internally to do customer satisfaction and training needs assessments. Clients loved the software product and asked if they could use it themselves for their surveys. TTI saw the need for a software like this for corporate use and hence, SurveyTracker, was developed. From the original paper surveys, SurveyTracker has evolved to incorporate online surveys as well as email, scannable, kiosk, and Survey-by-Disk.
