QSMART
is a comprehensive electronic survey, processing
and review / analysis technology that allows organisations
to collect structured feedback and to develop iterative
communication with a community of users via the
Internet. Rather than relying on traditional methods,
QSMART offers a new dimension of interaction. It
can be used as a medium for facilitating ongoing
contact with a group of customers and forms the
catalyst or backbone application for bringing a
group of Internet users together into a community.
QSMART
can be used internally or externally to survey,
understand and address any specific business functions
or issue. Customer Satisfaction is a prime example
of a valuable use of the technology. This is achieved
by the electronic deployment (on-line via the Internet
or through e-mail) of a structured template of questions
to a defined audience, followed by the subsequent
collation and analysis of the responses and feedback
collected. The QSMART review can be tailored readily
to address any issue. It allows the client to assign
a range of weightings' against the questions within
the survey. These weightings place varying levels
of importance against each question measured, creating
a dynamic model for gauging the effectiveness of
each business function. QSMART also allows all or
some of the responses to be analysed against multiple
business models, enabling the comparison of the
responses in light of present and planned business
environments. "What if" analysis can also be performed
to highlight the most productive opportunities for
improvement, enabling priorities to be set. Responses
can be analysed solely by the type or location of
respondent, allowing group comparisons to be made.
