mentoring a new age
In the late 60's, Mentor helped spawn a new age in the use and understanding of data. Our founders first released Mentor in 1967 - it was one of the first commercially available analysis tools on the market. Back then, "software" was a new addition to the business vocabulary.
The industry has evolved substantially in the last 40 years - and so has Mentor. Today's Mentor delivers powerful analysis behind the scenes and real-time online reporting to the delight of users as well as their clients.
Today, Mentor continues to lead the industry in capabilities and remains the most flexible, most powerful data manipulation and analysis tools for survey research.
reporting muscle
Mentor's power comes from a flexible, easy-to-learn spec language that allows you to save your jobs and reprocess them as you wish. Quick edits use easily remembered keywords that simplify even the most complex projects.
This flexibility applies to creating web reports as well. Mentor users can easily incorporate style sheets (CSS) and libraries of branded reporting styles.
Periodic "cron" jobs crunch your data and prepare reporting files while you work..or sleep. This means your online reporting can be as up-to-date as your data collection process.
