Raosoft, Inc. releases UAdmin, a new program to automate off-site data
collection and analysis for both surveys and general usage, using
networks, mail-out disks, bulletin boards, and kiosks.

Seattle, June 28, 1994--Raosoft UAdmin is a user-friendly DOS-based menu
interface program that provide s users in off-site locations with the
ability to administer an entire data collection and analysis project
electronically. It uses a single menu with straightforward English
commands so that administrators do not need any special training to gather
and then report on data. UAdmin's single control-level menu provides
features such as customized disk creation so that specified fields can be
pre-filled, 'Counts Tables' so that the administrator can track the
current response status, and instant report generation so that newly
gathered data can be interpreted.

UAdmin has been developed by Raosoft, Inc. in answer to the problems of
distributed organizations who want to automate their data handling of
headquarters/offsite data gathering and analysis. The entire process is
menu-driven so that non-experts may administer the process.

The underlying programs controlled by UAdmin are Raosoft, Inc.'s runtime
data collection programs USURVEY and UFill plus the runtime report
generator UReport. Just a few of the many applications where UAdmin can
provide unique support are for employee reviews, assessment surveys in
personnel and Total Quality Management (TQM) programs, travel pattern data
pick-up, and general data collection that is specific to a firm.

Shipping begins today, June 28. The price for UAdmin is $995, which
includes the cost of UReport (separately $395). This price is a one-time
charge, for which network usage is unlimited, the number of disks that may
be mailed out is unlimited and bulletin board and kiosk-type entry is also
unlimited. UAdmin will run on single or multiple floppy or hard disk
drives and needs 512K memory, and DOS 2.0 or higher. It is fully
networkable and Windows-compatible. There is no limit to the database size
for either fieldnames or number of records except system capacity.

Recently, Langley Air Force Base sent an organizational evaluation survey
out on UAdmin on mailout diskettes to 45 bases, gathering data from more
than 100,000 participants. Surveys were then distributed electronically to
personnel for fill-in by local networks, stand-alone computers used as
kiosks, and bulletin boards. UAdmin produced reports at various levels at
each base, and later at headquarters. A confidentiality feature in UAdmin
blocked sensitive information, so that certain data was available only at
specified levels.

To use UAdmin, a corporate Headquarters designs the form collection
instrument on Raosoft SURVEY and the preconfigured reports on Raosoft
EZReport. These are then placed on a disk or network with the runtime
programs of USURVEY, to run the form and UReport to provide the reports at
the off-site location. The powerful new UAdmin gives the off-site user the
ability to manage the whole project locally and then send the data
upstream if wanted. UAdmin provides the following capacities, when
received by the person designated to be the local administrator:

* Create a disk with a survey instrument or form customized for the local
network or stand-alone computers. A BBS can also be used. Fieldnames can
be pre-filled to increase the accuracy of data and to make it easier for
respondents to enter data.

* Remove data from specified fieldnames for confidentiality purposes,
before sending the data upstream to regional or headquarters.

* Provide ready-made 'Counts Tables' so the local administrators can track
the status of data collection at any point in time.

* Generate ready-made reports of the data as wanted, at multiple specified
levels or as wanted. The reports can take advantage of the statistics
features of Raosoft EZReport, the statistical report writer.
