Colorado Springs, CO — Survey software value leader Golden Hills Software releases SurveyGold 8, Windows workstation software featuring a plethora of new web and analysis features at a competitively low price and discounted pricing for non-profit and academic customers.

SurveyGold is Windows workstation-based software that easily creates paper and web surveys, allows collaborative sharing of surveys and results, and provides reports and analysis at low price point making it an exceptional value for the occasional survey author.

The features and pricing of SurveyGold are ideal for the first-time or occasional survey author. "When it's time to conduct a survey, people want to be productive right away and not face a steep learning curve or a costly price structure. That's where SurveyGold shines,” says Chuck Boudreau of Golden Hills Software. “In contrast to the vast majority of survey solutions, SurveyGold is intentionally designed and priced to meet the needs of the occasional survey creator. Because it uses familiar concepts instead of complicated form layout tools, it's easy to be productive immediately even for first-time or infrequent users."

Survey authors can quickly and easily create web surveys and no knowledge of web programming is required. Deploying a SurveyGold web survey form is simple matter of copying it to a web site. There are no other software components to install on the web site. As responses are submitted, the workstation-based SurveyGold software collects them for analysis and reporting. Surveys and results can be shared with other SurveyGold users via a collaborative import/export feature.

SurveyGold displays results in full-color 3-D pie, bar, and line charts. Drilling down on the charts reveals progressively more detail. SurveyGold's filtering capabilities allow data to be segmented and discover relationships between responses by presenting the results from sets of respondents in multiple series. Other reporting features include cross-tab charts, and professionally designed reports in Microsoft Word and Web formats. Support for scoring and weighting indexes is provided for those customers requiring a greater level of analysis.

SurveyGold provides a lot of value for its $199 price (US dollars) including unlimited web surveys and responses and features found in software products costing hundreds more. Non-profit organizations, students and staff of academic institutions should take note of the discounted price of only $99. Existing customers can upgrade for $49.

Golden Hills Software distributes and sells SurveyGold software exclusively via the Internet. The product operates in a 30-day time trial mode for first-time users.
