Why do I need a value-measurement study?
You need a value-measurement study if you want objective answers to critical business questions.
Why do I need a third party to conduct the study?
A third party will get the answers to your questions objectively. Customers, employees, and prospective customers tend to be more honest with a third party.
Why Specifics as opposed to another firm?
A couple of reasons. First of all, unlike other research firms in the market, Specifics focuses on the IT industry exclusively. This focus gives us expertise in your industry as well as aggregate data, which we can use to benchmark your company against similar firms.
Secondly, Specifics gives you both quantitative and qualitative information — the data and analysis that uncovers the real issues and actionable recommendations you can use to improve the success of your company.
How long does it take to get the results?
The duration of a study depends upon a number of factors, like how large the sample, how complete the contact information, and how complex the research problem. Because of the depth of Specifics’ studies, they typically take six to ten weeks to complete. There are extenuating circumstances, which serve to shorten and lengthen this time frame.
How much is it going to cost me?
The cost is also dependent upon a number of factors, like how large the population and sample, how complete the contact information, and how complex the research problem. Studies can cost as little as $5,000 to as much as $50,000 (or more).
Both the cost and the timeframe for a study are delineated in a proposal, which we prepare for you once we have had an opportunity to discuss your research needs in greater detail.
