We are changing the way we deliver SUMI services. At present, the following services are available:
This is a service housed at University College Cork, the url of which is sumi.ucc.ie/en/ (for the English language version - other language versions are coming onstream with demand.) You can see the questionnaire on this link but you'll need a password to be able to send data.
This service provides a detailed report giving the SUMI output including content analysis of the ancilliary questions.
Apply to HFRG for a password, specify the start and end dates, and agree on a contractual date for the delivery of the final report. The cost of this service is €2,500 per report.
As above, this service is housed at University College Cork, the url of which is sumi.ucc.ie/en/ (for the English language version - other language versions are coming onstream with demand.) You can see this questionnaire on this link but you'll need a password to be able to send data.
This service is intended for studies of between 12 to 100 users.
Apply to the HFRG for a password, and specify a start and end date. After the end date, you will get the scored SUMI data and associated replies to the ancilliary questions but you'll have to do your own statistical and content analyses. The cost of this service is €1,200 per report.
This service is primarily intended for labs who want to host SUMI internally (eg on a intranet), or academic users who cannot purchase either of the the online services (for student work towards a major thesis, for example.)
The required formats for sending data to HFRG are given on the formats page. If data is not provided in this format, it can't be analysed.
Dates for submitting and sending data back must be agreed upon beforehand. The usual turn-around time can be very short (half a working day) if you have arranged this with HFRG. The cost of this service is €500.
If you are a student and want to apply for a free use of SUMI you will have to get your academic supervisor to write a letter on headed stationery stating that the work you are carrying out is academic and not for profit or part of a consultancy arrangement.
For a large scale survey, or a survey with additional questions, or for becoming a SUMI service provider in your own right, you will have to contact Dr Jurek Kirakowski at jzk@ucc.ie to discuss your needs.
We are academics with more than 15 years experience of providing state of the art services to industry, research projects, and to fellow academic colleagues. Please remember we're not a commercial web-trends survey company.
SUMI is a robust psychometric instrument used by a large variety of IT companies and it works extremely well so long as it is treated with respect, that is, whole and 'as is.'
