gary: One observation you always bring up is that anyone with a little expertise can do those functions that are currently being done with TSIS ; especially the tele marketing surveys which seems to be the focus of recent posts. I have some personal knowledge of the marketing surveys firms and my observations do not support your thesis. First , many of the firms doing marketing research now and this is a hundreds of millions dollars market are still doing mailed in post cards and manually keyed in data entry. Secondly, new computer systems, software, training, T-1 lines, qualified employees ect. are very expensive and require a multimillion dollar commitment. Third, with the dollar savings TSIS brings to surveys this market is virtually untapped. In many instances costs of 500,000 to 1,000,000 per year can be reduced to 10 to 20 % . So IMO this will open up the market to a limitless appetite for cheap information for firms that currently cannot afford or are doing their own limited in house surveys......gregor
