Apologies for cross-postings .
 This is a reminder of your invitation to participate in Outsell, Inc.’s
(www.outsellinc.com) annual Vendor Portfolio Management Benchmark Study,
covering industries, not-for-profit organizations, government agencies,
educational and health care institutions.

The survey will focus on information management functions such as
information centers and libraries; knowledge management; records management;
and competitive intelligence functions and will examine budgets, spending,
vendor/product evaluation and vendor portfolio management.

We ask that only one person from each department or buying unit answer the
survey to avoid duplicate responses from the same organization.

Respondents who complete the survey will be sent a report of study results
and will also be entered into a drawing for five $200 cash prizes for
yourself or a charity of your choice. In addition, respondents will
automatically be sent a short listing of our 2004 vendor/product user
satisfaction “winners” in various content categories.



All responses are confidential.  The data will be analyzed and presented in
aggregated form only.



To enter  the  survey, point your browser to:

Username: Outsell

Password: survey



After answering some introductory questions,  you may download a PDF version
of the questionnaire. The survey must be completed online.



The survey will close at midnight Pacific time on Thursday November 10,
2005.



Thank you for your participation in this important project and a special
thank you to those of you who have supported this research over the years.
We appreciate your time and contribution.  If you have any questions about
