METHODOLOGY Redshift Research conducted this study on behalf of Text 100 and Solarwinds. The survey was carried out in accordance with the Market Research Society’s code of conduct, which guarantees anonymity to all respondents, and was designed to measure the attitudes of Small Businesses regarding Technology. Research was conducted in June, 2014 using an email invitation and an online survey. The survey was conducted among 1,816 respondents 18 years of age or older were currently employed in an office environment full time. All were required to use at least one type of computer software application to qualify (including email). No restrictions were placed on the size or type of company where the respondent worked. The study was conducted in the following countries: Australia (n=201), Brazil (n=207), Denmark (n=200), Germany (n=300), Singapore (n=202), US (n=403), and the UK (n=303). In Brazil and Germany, the respondents answered the survey in-language. The data were set to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total populations aged 18 and older. Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. In this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, minus, by more than between 4.88 and 6.91 percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample. Sample was selected from the Crowdology panel. Crowdology™ is an online panel owned and operated by Redshift Research. The Crowdology™ panel is balanced across regional, age and gender demographic factors, and is nationally representative of the Danish population. Each respondent completes 120 profiling questions before being accepted to join our panel.

The survey was carried out in accordance with the Market Research Society’s code of conduct, which guarantees anonymity to all respondents, and was designed to measure the attitudes of Small Businesses regarding Technology.

In Brazil and Germany, the respondents answered the survey in-language. The data were set to ensure reliable and accurate representation of the total populations aged 18 and older. Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. In this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, minus, by more than between 4.88 and 6.91 percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample. Sample was selected from the Crowdology panel. Crowdology™ is an online panel owned and operated by Redshift Research. The Crowdology™ panel is balanced across regional, age and gender demographic factors, and is nationally representative of the Danish population.
