Surveys play a very important role in guiding an organization’s decision-making process. Surveys provide a bird’s eye view of any particular decision problem. Organizations and enterprises conduct surveys in order to track their internal control, compliances, policies, security and strength to manage risks. Surveys may be conducted to assess internal factors or external factors related to client behavior and expectations. In both cases, the enterprise would have to curate multiple surveys for different studies and objectives.

Conducting a survey involves many activities and a process needs to be followed. A survey encompasses the setting of goals and objectives, the structure of the survey, model to be used, designing questionnaire, collecting data and analyzing it. Each stage requires dedicated planning, designing and execution for successful implementation. This can prove to be very tedious, challenging and time-consuming. When an organization has to conduct multiple surveys, the complexity of execution increases.
