Tech Survey to be Expanded

The Spaulding Group has been surveying the industry for 20 years on a variety of topics. This year we focus once again on performance and risk measurement technology, with two surveys:

• One for the users
• One for the suppliers.

Until now the suppliers' survey has been sent only to software vendors; it serves as the basis for The Journal of Performance Measurement's "wall charts," which summarize, in a rather neat fashion, the responses we get. These charts have proven very helpful to firms that are looking for software.

This year we are expanding the suppliers' survey's reach to include custodians. The reality is that this segment of the market is also a supplier of this functionality, and it will be helpful to gain insights into what they offer.

Both surveys are being finalized, and will be available for public input shortly. As with all of our surveys, participants will receive complimentary copies of the results. If you have any questions about this topic, please contact Patrick Fowler.
