<p>PHOENIX. May 10, 1999. When Susan Ford of MacHome magazine needed a<br />
quick way of polling her subscribers online, she turned to the latest<br />
version of The Dragon from Waves in Motion.</p>
<p>"As a magazine publisher in the rapidly changing Macintosh consumer<br />
market, it is extremely important that we know as much about our<br />
audience as possible," says Susan. "With The Dragon, I am able to put<br />
together surveys, publish them to our website, and start seeing<br />
results in a matter of days."</p>
<p>The Dragon is a cross-platform FileMaker Pro solution that lets<br />
anyone create, publish, and tabulate a sophisticated online survey to<br />
gather immediate feedback on the issues facing them and their<br />
organization. Online surveys can provide any business with a simple<br />
barometer of their customers' concerns and opinions, and the<br />
information they need to make their important decisions.</p>
<p>Arizona State University, for instance, continually conducts large<br />
market studies to determine how they can best serve their students<br />
and their community. "The Dragon has helped us reach market<br />
populations internationally and locally that we were missing with our<br />
traditional methods," says Randy Bailey, ASU's Extended Campus<br />
Director of Communications & Marketing. "The Dragon requires a very<br />
short learning curve and the cost to complete these online surveys is<br />
typically less than 10% of what a comparable survey would have cost<br />
using traditional methods."</p>
<p>Version 5.0 of The Dragon now allows for an unlimited number of<br />
questions in a survey. In addition to the basic question formats<br />
supported by earlier versions, The Dragon allows people to respond to<br />
questions using a Likert scale. This, for example, allows you to put<br />
forward certain opinions and poll whether people agree strongly,<br />
agree somewhat, are undecided, disagree somewhat, or disagree<br />
strongly.</p>
<p>The Dragon now works with either Lasso or the FileMaker Pro web<br />
companion, and includes the ability to run internal surveys over your<br />
local network or use the same, straightforward interface for the data<br />
entry of printed or telephone surveys. The Dragon can even notify you<br />
by e-mail as the responses start coming in.</p>
<p>Version 5.0 also comes with most everything you need to analyze your<br />
results and publish your reports to the Internet, including improved<br />
cross-tabulated analysis that can now compare two different data<br />
searches side by side, and the ability to export you survey data to<br />
StatView, the acclaimed cross-platform application from the SAS<br />
Institute (<a href="http://www.statview.com" title="http://www.statview.com">http://www.statview.com</a>) that packs data management,<br />
statistical analyses, and presentation tools into a single intuitive<br />
software package.</p>
<p>You can purchase The Dragon for $789.00 US online from the Waves In<br />
<p>Waves in Motion also offers a desktop version of the Dragon for<br />
$379.00, a low-priced alternative for people who do not conduct<br />
surveys over the Internet, but do need to enter the data obtained<br />
through traditional written or verbal surveys.</p>
<p>Or you can take advantage of their Desktop Communications Bundle for<br />
$899.00, which includes the online and desktop versions of The Dragon<br />
and a copy of eMerge, the bulk e-mail merge application from Galleon<br />
Software (<a href="http://www.galleon.com" title="http://www.galleon.com">http://www.galleon.com</a>) and the simplest and fastest way of<br />
distributing authentication passwords and following up with the<br />
people who respond to your surveys.</p>
<p>Current customers should call Waves in Motion for the price of<br />
upgrades from older versions of The Dragon.</p>
<p>For all their products, Waves In Motion offers a demo version you can<br />
try before you make your purchase. The demo version of The Dragon<br />
offers all the functionality of the full product except that it will<br />
only run for one hour at a time.</p>
<p>Waves in Motion is the developer of several FileMaker Pro solutions,<br />
including DocuScript, the Analyzer, and the oAzium family of<br />
plug-ins. They are active members of the FileMaker Solution Alliance<br />
and the Apple Developer Program, and have been consulting and<br />
developing FileMaker solutions since 1990.</p>
