Incredible, Streamlining Research & Data Tools

DataJoe's primary emphasis is to increase your efficiency in research, storage compilation and publishing of commercial data.

Early adopters of DataJoe report that research staff save up to 20 hours per week in research process time. Because DataJoe virtually eliminates repetitive tasks from the research process, a typical research department could anticipate saving up to1,000 hours per year using the DataJoe and the tools described below:

• Automated Surveying.

  The system automates distribution of surveys and cover letters (via fax or e-mail) and allows for recipients to submit information digitally, removing the burden of entering data into the database from the researcher. DataJoe offers survey tracking tools and a 'submissions' area where surveys await researcher review before being saved to the database.

• Automated Publishing.

  DataJoe increases the efficiency of your print production process by allowing researchers to export lists and directories in a variety of formats - *.pdf, *.doc, *.csv, *.html.

  Each PDF contains a close approximation of your print style, eliminating the need to build the lists on the production side. Production teams can potentially drop the PDF directly into Quark™ or InDesign®.

  The publishing tool allows for changes to the page dimensions, font, spacing and number of records to be made on the fly - or - when regenerating lists for your Book of Lists at the end of the year. Last-minute record changes and additions now are made in DataJoe rather than just on the design-page, which means data changes are saved back to the database and preserved for future use.

• Searching.

  DataJoe reduces time spent sorting through records with its easy searching capabilities. Because data is stored in one centralized database, researchers can quickly create custom searches to find individual or multiple records by the touch of a button!

• Data Downloads - Exporting.

  The system allows for the export of customizable data sets directly out of DataJoe into text or Excel formatted files. This eliminates the time spent gathering and formatting data to be used in other departments of your publication, such as advertising or circulation.

• Data Import.

  DataJoe's easy import tool allows researchers to collect data from outside sources and upload them into DataJoe without having to re-key data.

• Automated Data E-commerce.

  DataJoe's automated E-commerce tools and settings allow your researcher to easily manage your online products without taking time away from research. Using the DataJoe software, administrators can make products 'live' to your data portal, track transactions and manage E-commerce options in only minutes.
