The NCC has a well-established survey service, building on annual
surveys on IT salaries and topical IT issues of concern to IT users,
IT spending and the adoption of technologies and applications. We
also conduct ad hoc surveys with partners/affiliates on subjects
ranging from outsourcing to career tracking.
NCC has recently introduced Rapid Surveys which are aimed exclusively
at NCC members, to provide the most timely input on 'hot' topics
of interest to our members. These form the basis of the opinion
of NCC members and therefore the voice of the IT user community
in the UK.
NCC members receive many of the benchmark reports free of charge
or at heavily discounted rates. NCC benchmarks are also available
for non-members to purchase.
Survey
methods and reports
The following is a brief outline of the method used when conducting a survey and the resulting report.
In the specific
case of sponsored surveys, the detailed arrangements will be described
in the contractual documentation.
- The survey may be initiated by NCC itself, be
suggested by the NCC membership and taken up by NCC itself or
be initiated by one or more survey sponsors.
-
NCC will undertake all the survey requirements
from questionnaire development to presentation of the results
in report format.
-
Surveys may extend beyond the current NCC membership
in some cases.
-
Surveys may be carried out by telephone, e-mail,
NCC website, paper form mailshot or a combination of these.
Proposals for specific surveys will specify the mechanism to
be used in detail.
-
Where survey work is directly sponsored, NCC
will qualify expectations with respect to targets for the quantity
and quality of contacts in the survey.
-
NCC will analyse and report upon survey findings.
In general, and being consistent with NCC's nature as a membership
organisation, survey findings will be made available to all
NCC members.
-
NCC will retain Intellectual Property Rights
on survey data and reports.
-
NCC has a confidentiality agreement with all
respondents. Organisations and individuals will not be identified
in survey results.
-

Code of Conduct.
