Far away are the olden days when companies could put content and functionality onto their Web sites, cross their fingers and hope. It really didn't matter if people had problems with your Web site...it wasn't their primary mode of communication with you, and it wasn't necessary to respond to customer e-mails. No one did, after all.
When companies finally began monitoring how their virtual customers were interacting with their Web sites, the surveys were cumbersome, limited and needed to be designed by professionals. Today, Web survey tools are as necessary to companies doing business off their Web sites as as agents who can write and spell.
Announced this morning is a new tool from Perseus (which specializes in a market it calls "Enterprise Feedback Management.") Details below.

FREE WEB SURVEY SITE LAUNCHED BY PERSEUS, PROVIDER OF
Perseus, the global leader in Enterprise Feedback Management (EFM) solutions, announces the availability of SurveySolutions Express, the 100% free web survey site that enables individuals to quickly gather the critical feedback they need to successfully meet their survey goals.
SurveySolutions Express is the first survey tool of its caliber and allows individuals to quickly write and field web surveys that gather feedback fast, free and without the functionality and response limits inherent with alternative web survey sites.
Perseus has helped redefine the web survey market over the past year with innovative technologies that have led the transition from static web survey software to Enterprise Feedback Management solutions that help organizations collaboratively collect, analyze, and share customer feedback within a centrally managed and secure environment, using feedback data like other strategic assets.
“More and more organizations are implementing enterprise-wide strategies to collect, analyze, and use feedback information in conjunction with existing systems, data, and business processes,” said Esteban Kolsky, Research Director with Gartner, “The vendors that succeed will focus on creating centrally administered, integrated frameworks to be used by organizations to deploy feedback as a strategic tool, as opposed to a single-function tool.”
“SurveySolutions Express broadens the exposure of our award-winning technology to individuals with moderate to low survey requirements that may have more sophisticated needs in the future,” said
SurveySolutions Express enables individuals to:
