Analytics Bureau

We run an Analytics Bureau in collaboration with Space-Time Research, Australia's most successful business intelligence company.

At the heart of the solution is SuperWEB, the web browser interface to Space-Time Research's acclaimed online micro-analytical processing technology. This embodies those characteristics that make Space-Time Research's content delivery and reporting solutions so successful internationally - extraordinary performance, elegance and ease of use. It has proved effective in bringing common statistical knowledge and data interrogation capabilities to a broader spectrum of business people in organisations.

We perform routine and specialised statistical analysis and reporting on completed survey and other data for various statutory bodies, government agencies and companies. SuperWEB, and its companion products, enable ASR to offer web data mining and reporting on modest as well as truly massive data sets. We can transform your data to appear in SuperSTAR, and disseminate reports under password control over the web. Typical uses are:

  • Employee survey: distribution of the company data and work area data, so that a line manager can view his/her work area and compare their local results to the company-wide results.
  • Customer satisfaction survey: distribution of the company data and product/service lines, so that various managers can view their product/service and compare their results to the company-wide results.
