Getting the Message Across
Automating and communicating Survey Results

Programme | Exhibitors

Overview

This ASC one-day conference was on the topic of delivering survey results. There have been new developments in this area during the past several years and there have been changes made to existing techniques. The Internet continues to provide opportunities for direct communication with end users of data. Indeed, users are continuously becoming more sophisticated in their use of technology and are demanding, rightly, that data suppliers provide innovative and reliable solutions.  

Presentations included cover the following topics:  

• The challenges thrown up by new object models in MS Office 2007
• Taking advantage of Microsoft COM, .NET Framework and Common Language Runtime
• Automating continuous tracking
• Controlling workflow
• Graphical representation and automated charting
• Bringing information to the desktop
• Interactive dashboards
• OLAP cubes, multidimensional reporting
• Case studies
• Managing stakeholder expectations
• Efficiency gains and losses
• Caveats, pitfalls and what not to do
• Privacy and security
