Survey Technology

Our Survey Technology allows you to benefit from the industry's best systems, software and security.

TNS Employee Insights uses a proprietary web-based system named Enterprise to administer, collect, process and report survey data. This advanced system provides the capacity to create surveys in multiple languages, develop customized questions and demographics for different groups within the organization, import historic data to view trends over time, and compare results to normative data.

Enterprise allows us to create and distribute total and demographic reports by department/division to thousands of managers worldwide. Because there is no software to download, managers have immediate online access to their reports via a secure password. Our proprietary survey software is written in house ... developed and fine-tuned over the course of 13+ years. 

TNS Employee Insights uses a load-balanced cluster of IBM e-servers co-located at our ISP. The servers are configured to take very high loads, proven to handle up to 3,000 simultaneous survey participants with a 50% increase in capability coming soon. Hundreds of thousands of survey users worldwide access our systems on a real-time basis, with no response time issues.
