Techneos^® Systems has signed an agreement with e-academy Inc., a major online channel for academic software, to distribute Entryware™ mobile survey software for educational use. This agreement with e-academy provides a range of Entryware software licenses for students, faculty and educational institutions.

Entryware software is used in 50 countries to conduct surveys with Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), tablet PCs, Ultra-Mobile PCs (UMPCs) and Smartphones. Entryware software provides the advanced functionality that is available in high-end web and phone survey software, supporting even complex multi-lingual social research using the smallest, most cost-effective mobile devices on the market.

Institutional licensing allows secondary and post-secondary institutions to use Entryware software for a wide range of research projects, including: face-to-face interviews, observational research, and diary studies. Diary studies can leverage a customizable alarm system to notify respondents when it is time to complete a survey and photo capture to add rich qualitative insight to quantitative feedback. Institutional Entryware licenses allow educators to conduct mobile surveys for any non-commercial research projects, at a significant discount from commercial Entryware pricing.

Techneos is also introducing new faculty and student licenses that make it easier to incorporate Entryware into course curriculums. These deeply discounted 6-month and 12-month licenses allow students and faculty members to use Entryware software within a classroom setting. For classroom use, it is not necessary for students to buy a mobile device to learn and apply Entryware software. The Entryware Mobile for Windows^® application can be run on the same PC as Entryware Designer, allowing students to enter data on the same PC used for authoring questionnaires. Once data is collected, it can be exported directly to an SPSS^® dataset, Excel^® spreadsheet, or other common data formats such as tab-delimited or fixed-field ASCII files.

"Techneos works with dozens of leading academic institutions around the world," adds Susan Bilczo, Marketing Coordinator for Techneos Systems. "A growing number of educators in market research, sociology, travel and tourism, and other programs are employing Entryware software for mobile research projects. e-academy makes Entryware software more accessible to the academic community, and provides a one-stop shop for educators and students to purchase both the data collection software and analytical tools to fulfill their research objectives."

"e-academy believes that providing a sound foundation for higher education will enable students to enhance their overall educational experience," said Ram Raju, CEO e-academy. "This new relationship with Techneos will provide the opportunity for such a start."

All faculty, students and institutional buyers who purchase Entryware licenses through e-academy receive technical support directly from Techneos.
