OpenSurvey.net was developed to provide non-technical organizations an easy mechanism through which to create, distribute and collect survey information. It is based on a portable infrastructure that enables a secure, on-demand, online compilation and review of survey results. No longer is one required to gather information and then enter that information into a computer system. OpenSurvey allows individuals to collect survey information on handheld devices and instantaneously upload that information to a database, thereby effectively utilizing personnel by eliminating redundancy throughout the surveying process.

OpenSurvey's dynamic interface allows each user to easily create the survey that is most appropriate for the task at hand. Through an online administrative interface, the user creates a survey that is then published through an Internet or handheld (PocketPC) interface. Once the data is collected in the field, it is transmitted back to a central integrated database server which generates a summary of the analytical data for collaborative review through OpenSurvey's secure online portal.
