Custom, state-of-the art, online, interactive reporting solutions provide dynamic survey data in real time to the right people no matter where they are. But custom reporting solutions are expensive. Smaller companies have had to rely on more traditional solutions such as outsourced report writing, PowerPoint decks, spreadsheets and Word documents.

Over the course of developing custom reporting solutions for many clients over many years, AnnikTech experts realized that most clients require a large number of identical solutions in addition to a smaller number of their own custom solutions. By combining the identical solutions into a single framework our experts were able to satisfy 80 percent of automated online reporting solution needs.

This frees up AnnikTech developers to spend more time creating the other 20 percent—namely the customized reporting solutions specific to each company or survey. The result is AnnikTech Rapid Dashboard Framework (RDF), an online, interactive delivery solution that can be customized at a cost that’s affordable to small and medium sized businesses. Once RDF is bridged seamlessly to your system by our developers, AnnikTech RDF can deliver small and large study reports online for multiple clients.

The large framework library serves as the foundation for AnnikTech RDF so developers can focus on the customized aspects of creating automated, interactive reports. This makes RDF deployment for new studies extremely agile with quick turnarounds and at a cost that is on par with the report writing services offered by market research & operations companies.

While there are many companies currently developing workflow automation solutions, Annik is unique in that its principal area of expertise is in workflow automation for market research. Combine that with the deep market research application experience of AnnikTech developers and it’s apparent our clients receive a number of advantages.

For example, because we understand market research, we are able to analyze workflow based on our extensive experience in this area. In many instances, we are able to reduce manual efforts in workflow by up to 40 percent.

Workflow automation starts with business process engineering, wherein AnnikTech engineers identify areas that can be automated. They then design the process and plan for third party integration. With the process fully designed we show you the overall improvement automation will have on workflow. At this point, development of the platform occurs. Upon completion, quality checks are performed and we train users on the new workflow. As new processes are created or automation opportunities are identified, AnnikTech works with your users to implement changes and design associated applications.

Annik has long been acknowledged as a leader when it comes to creating interactive, animation-based flash tools for market research surveys. In addition to creating award winning off-the-shelf flash tools, AnnikTech developers create custom flash tools for use in any platform.

While other companies create flash animated solutions, Annik is different in that we not only create the customized flash; we integrate it into the platform you already use. This means your organization receives the flash tool within the platform page so it is ready for use.

Our flash tools are easily integrated with industry standard survey data collection platforms like -

• SPSS Dimensions
• Confirmit
• Kinesis
• Nebu
• Vovici

To initiate the custom flash tool process, AnnikTech personnel assess the requirements required of the tool, they then create a storyboard of screen shots, explain how the flash will work and then work with you to agree on functionality. They then develop the tool. Once complete, quality checks are performed and the tool is integrated into the appropriate platform page before delivery. Each custom flash tool is owned outright by the client. Development through delivery can take as little as a few hours up to as long as two weeks. Typical turnaround is four to five days.

In instances where you require more flexibility for data analytics or to service ad-hoc requests for your clients or researchers, our Report Writer solution comes handy while being cost effective. Report Writer has been specially designed to consume survey data allowing the users to create cross tabs and view them as charts.

You can create your own filters and apply them on the reports and finally export them in Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel or Adobe PDF.

The ease of use in our Report Writer lets you focus on the data analytics and report production without worrying about the backend.

Quality

Annik follows CMMi and Six Sigma approaches to maintain quality of the documentation and communication. The team is certified on various software and platforms.

To ensure smooth development and quality delivery, Annik will deploy a QC team to ensure all requirements are verified and implemented as expected. Following are the steps QC team will follow.

• Understanding of requirements. The QC team will understand the functionality of the proposed solution
• Preparation of test cases for each requirement. QC team @ Annik will prepare a test case document listing all requirements and steps to ensure all requirements are implemented with quality output
• Test case document will be verified by the Project Manager @ Annik
• QC team will use this document and test the application step by step to ensure a bug free output
• The document will be shared with CPM to help them for further quality check

Our Development Methodology – Agile with Scrum

With the application of Agile methodology for development of project, all the modules of project are developed independently with minimal impact on other related modules. We involve our clients to review the developments of major modules of project during the development. This results in high level of flexibility to make any mid-development changes with minimal impact on the overall development cycle of project. Our development life cycle is implied on every module separately. The project manager will also act as Scrum master during regular scrum sessions.
