The university needed a systematic approach to conducting surveys
that would also empower users to manage the survey themselves and to
release IT personnel for other jobs. The
university did an intensive evaluation of many survey providers and
selected Perseus SurveySolutions(R) Enterprise due to four core
factors - ease of use, feature comprehensiveness , central database
repository and local support/training. "The support team has been responsive to our
needs and we hope to keep up the good working relationship.

"In planning this meeting , we started off with what made
Massachusetts different from San Francisco and San Diego where
biotechnology was a focal industry and quickly realized that our
combination of academia, hospital research, biotech and pharmaceutical
companies is the perfect environment to discuss translational medicine
and the evolving field of biomarkers," said Abbie Celniker, PhD, the
MBC Board member who was integral in organizing the scientific panels

SINGAPORE----Perseus Development
Corporation , the global leader in web survey and Enterprise Feedback
Management (EFM) solutions, is pleased to announce that the National
University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully implemented Perseus
SurveySolutuions (R) Enterprise to obtain valuable feedback to help
shape future programs. Some were done manually on paper with responses recorded
later on a spreadsheet. Other surveys were conducted through email ,
while some utilized customized in-house programs where questions had
to be re-programmed for each different survey questionnaire. Paper surveys, where results have to be manually entered,
are no longer used. All these capabilities help the departments
and faculties save time and resources compiling the responses,
allowing them more time to concentrate their efforts on analyzing the
survey results.

Societies, museums, academic departments and other organizations devoted to the study of the history of science.
