Apian Software was founded in 1986 to produce software tools for streamlining common management tasks like employee evaluation, customer surveys and purchasing decisions. Apian’s core program, SurveyPro, is a start-to-finish surveying program that includes questionnaire design, data collection, reporting, and data import/export for multimedia surveys. SurveyPro includes options for designing and conducting electronic surveys, such as Web, kiosk, LAN, and telephone, as well as paper and scannable forms. Apian also offers full-service Web survey hosting. SurveyHost is the perfect solution for companies wanting to outsource the design, creation and management of Web surveys. Apian's most recent release is DecisionPad. DecisionPad is an advanced yet intuitive tool that Clarifies and Documents Complex Decisions. It uses a decision worksheet accessible to non-specialists – it will be familiar to anyone who has ever read a comparison table in a consumer product evaluation article. A powerful proven technically-sophisticated utility analysis technique creates the analysis.
