Hello all. I am a Ph.D. student at Capella University. My specialization is IT Management. I am in the last phase of my dissertation and seeking volunteers in North America to participate in an online survey.
The subject of the survey is the level of effort for the management, administration, maintenance, and/or security of Network Servers. If you are a technical professional familiar with the efforts required to keep network servers going on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, please take my survey. This includes technicians, administrators, managers and executives.
Here’s the link:
Network Maintenance Research 1d
The survey is mid-length: about 20 questions, but 7 of those are demographic type questions. Also, some questions may not apply to each respondent (some are specific to operating system). Respondents should be able to complete the survey in about 10 minutes. The questions revolve around the amount of labor required to maintain server hardware and software.
Your response to the survey is greatly appreciated. I would love to be able to offer you a prize or some other honorarium for your participation just like the big survey companies, but I am a semi-starving student (LOL). I can offer to share the results when completed. Just enter an email at the end of the survey.
Finally, if this post is “not in the spirit” or in violation of acceptable posts in this group or forum, please forgive me. Feel free to delete the post. I need hundreds of respondents across the United States, so I am posting in many groups and forums across the internet. Any administrators or users who wish to comment, please respond to directly to my profile.
Thank you very much for your consideration and participation.
P.S. If you know of other groups, forums, or communities whose members might be interested in taking the survey, please send me a note. Also, feel free to forward this request to others who might be interested in helping. Thanks
