PAI Summer Newsletter

Nearly every aspect of mTAB™ - logging on and launching, loading studies, creating recodes and UDQs, through running tabs is now measurably faster. Cumulatively, the impact is dramatic with typical end-to-end user sessions now up to 25% faster relative to the mTAB™ Winter 2009 release.

With enhancements to mTAB’s infrastructure now behind us, our future releases will continue our tradition of adding features and functionality that will further enhance the analysis of survey data.

mTAB™ feature enhancements are 100% user driven and we continually encourage our users to provide new feature ideas and suggestions. Simply email support@paiwhq.com with your thoughts or call our help desk at
1-800-693-3111 if you would prefer to discuss.

Please help us by filling out: The mTAB™ Annual User Survey.

PAI is seeking feedback and suggestions for mTAB™ through our new Annual User Survey. Please spend a few minutes and rate your experience with mTAB™. Your participation in our survey is appreciated. Thanks for helping us make your experience with mTAB™ even better. We look forward to your input.

Recoding in mTAB™ allows users to re-aggregate questions for easier analysis. As useful as Recodes are, not everyone makes full use of them. Our upcoming Webinar will focus on Recodes because we want our mTAB™ analysts to fully understand the power and flexibility this feature offers.

Our upcoming Webinar will illustrate how easy and useful Recoding can be. We will look at how Recodes can be used to build segmentation definitions and how Recodes can be used across multiple studies for tracking.

mTAB™ has a wealth of options available. Join us and further enhance your mTAB™ experience.

Title:  mTAB™ - Recoding and Trending Across Time

PAI has been partnering with GfK Automotive since 1990, when it was known as Allison-Fisher. GfK's studies in mTAB™ help users dive deeper into the Purchase Funnel. These long trends help clients create insightful stories on how the US Automotive market has been evolving, as well as quick analyses on what’s happening now.

With data going back 20 years, Generational trends are just a series of Recodes away. GfK Automotive data on mTAB™ is one of the few places where an analyst can look at the development of brand preference for Gen X, the evolving brand preference for Gen Y, as well as the changing preferences of Boomer groups.

Other rich demographic and geographic data runs are easy to trend. It’s simple to create a custom regional Recode in mTAB™ to analyze the US automotive market for changing demand patterns from GfK's Intentions studies, or track near-term demand by key DMA.
