  • Consumability Survey

    Would you help us by responding to the consumability survey for the latest version of the products you work with?

    Go to http://www.ibm.com/survey/oid/wsb.dll/studies/consumabilitywebform.htm?icodeúQ

    The survey is available in 10 major languages and invites both multiple choice and free format responses, all of which we review. There is no option to save a partially completed survey and return later, so you need to finish the survey in one session and hit the final Submit button for the data to reach us. Please plan 30-40 minutes to respond. You do not need to identify yourself or your company; that is optional. This is an opportunity to influence future releases of our products and to save you time by helping to make our systems easier to use. Thank you.
