Additionally, multiple departments within an organization can collaborate on survey initiatives, share results and gain insights that impact bottom-line results.

Decommission of SurveyPirate

Last week, SurveyPirate announced the decommission of their services. SurveyPirate was a free survey software platform in business since 2008. They advertized as “the world’s most user friendly tool.
