Business Value of OGC Standards Survey – You Could Win an iPad2

November 28, 2011 by gisuser

A reminder comes our way via our friends at the OGC as they ask the Geo industry to take part in a survey (note, there’s 2 separate surveys, one for technology users, the other for technology and solution providers and consultants). About the survey – The OGC Business Value Committee will use a summary of the results to help the OGC better understand the value of the OGC’s open standards and improve its programs for geospatial standards development, compliance testing and outreach. The survey takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Individual responses will be seen only by the researchers and OGC staff. The researchers will summarize the data gathered from the survey, removing all references to individual responses, and make the summary available to OGC Business Value Committee members. An executive summary will be provided to survey respondents.

To take the survey, if you are a technology user, visit http://uncc.surveyshare.com/s/AQAIJDC. If you are a technology provider (a vendor or a system integrator) or a consultant, visit http://uncc.surveyshare.com/s/AQAIZBC.
