Following questionnaire aims at evaluating the current state and future predictions related to RosettaNet from your company's point of view. After filling in the form of 25 questions, which should not take more than 15 minutes, you will be provided separate information of how to order a report of the survey for yourself. Results will be available to your company free of charge.

The invitation to participate in this survey has been sent to approximately 80 companies. Anonymous replies via Internet guarantee that the information you provide cannot be distinguished, and only aggregate results will be reported.
