mTAB
For the ad-hoc analysis of large survey research datasets, PAI's mTAB has no equal. With over 10 years of refinement, mTAB's database compression technology facilitates the analysis of studies comprising even millions respondents in a quick and productive manner. mTAB's easy to use interface was designed with the spreadsheet user in mind, and consequently requires significantly less training to master than statistical analysis tools. This ease of use facilitates a natural dialog between the analyst and the data set, allowing the analyst to quickly "drill deeper" into new concepts as they are revealed during the course of the analysis.
