  • The 2004 OPM Human Capital Survey described in Federal Computer Week shows that federal employees are happy overall with their workplaces. Over 150,000 federal employees were surveyed using Raosoft InterForm software. The results indicated that the government needs to tie employees' pay to their performance better, and to deal more effectively with low performing workers and to reward high performing workers more meaningfully. OPM was able to carry out the demanding government-wide survey process on their own because of the thorough support that the Raosoft InterForm software products provided the entire process. OPM administrators were able to monitor provisional results both at the Headquarter and agency regional level. Both question results and number of answering respondents were available to them. The 2004 Human Capital Survey is the second version of the survey, the first being in 2002, so comparative data is becoming available.
 
 
  • The Army schools automate surveys. The U. S. Army gets unified assessment for its 29 TRADOC schools. Raosoft, Inc. has developed the AUTOGEN software for the Army Reseach Institute, which provides it to the Army training schools. The schools are able to carry out their own Job Analysis surveys and Training Evaluation surveys now. They use built-in standard questions and responses and are also able to create their own questions through a sophisticated wizard. AUTOGEN guides the data collection by multiple methods: web, LAN, or diskette. Default reports that allow multiple queries and options give the results to the schools in clear format. AUTOGEN has become mandatory in the schools because of its remarkable productivity.

They will be able to build customized reports that they can use repeatedly, as well as select from default reports in EZReport. The program RapidReport will be used to produce instant display of the results in polished reports for upper management or for themselves.
 
 
  • The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) completed their long planned corporate site purchase for Raosoft software in June and July. They have used our Raosoft software for automated training evaluations for several years, and now have expanded to a full site license for the general Navy, because of their satisfaction with our robust software and the productivity it has brought them. They will be using a combination of our EZSurvey for the Internet survey software for web-based data collection with our SurveyWin (diskette, notebook, LAN and paper) distribution software, for many different types of applications. The Training command conducts training evaluations for both land classes and ships. Land classes use electronic and paper entry, while on the ships, laptop computers are used for data entry by respondents and then the data is appended for larger scale reporting.

The first web survey application will be for a survey that will cover the Executive Branch.

Raosoft went to Washington DC to provide an on-site training course for the agency.
