Ruby is a fantasic productivity booster that will have you ripping through your work in no time!

Easy

  • Create complex multi-layered tables with just a few mouse clicks, such as Behaviour within Age within Gender within Region
  • Organise all job-related documents (Word, PowerPoint, HTML, etc) under one job folder using Ruby’s Table of Contents model
  • Cross tabulate and chart external data (eg GRPs, warehouse withdrawals, financial indices, etc) against survey variables
  • Export tables and charts to Word/Excel/Powerpoint as data, graphics or as recreated MSGraphs
  • Automatic updates for continuous tracking jobs, including tailored PowerPoint slide shows
  • Produce presentation quality tables and charts, with full user control over fonts and layout

Fast

  • Patented data traversing algorithm for blindingly fast processing speed
  • Outperforms any other general-purpose market research analysis tool
  • Process millions of cases in a few seconds
  • Automated job scripts for setup, analysis, updating after new data waves and automated reporting and charting gets the grunt work done so you can focus on adding insight for your clients
  • Use VBScript or JavaScript to automate complex or repetitive tasks or to integrate inputs and outputs with other applications

Flexible

  • Import from SSS, Quantum, Surveycraft, SPSS, SAS, RDBs, CSV, any card image, etc
  • Manipulate rows and columns arithmetically and statistically in many ways
  • Independently specify the variable, code, matrix expression, weight and/or filter for each row and column
  • Reorganise or hide or remove or add rows and columns at any time
  • Analyse either graphically or numerically
  • Slice, dice and drill by interactive filtering
  • Dynamically interact with generated reports by summing rows or columns, showing/hiding frequencies, sorting on any key, re-percentaging on different bases, even basing one table on a row or column of another table altogether
  • Interactively or conditionally select periods for statistical comparisons against benchmarks or for piecewise linear regressions
  • Create and apply your own weighting matrices at will
  • Do the sorts of things you would otherwise have to specify in Quantum or Surveycraft or SPSS, but using a Windows GUI instead of arcane and archaic command syntax

Powerful

  • No practical limits to number of variables, cases, codes, constructs, tables, charts, etc
  • Handle time series data from daily through to yearly and beyond, with full recognition of the real calendar at every point for intelligent handling of out-of-field
  • Use any type of data: categorical, quantitative, single-response, multi-response, incremented, hierarchic, textual, or any mix thereof
  • Create new variables by mapping or constructing codes under any mix of Boolean or arithmetical conditions, including new hierarchic variables to any depth and with any number of nodes
  • Handle tens of thousand plottable points (eg daily data from 1950) as easily as 52 weeks
  • Select different rolling algorithms for control over roll-ins and out-of-field periods
  • Access an in-built Events/Attachments data base which allows any type of file (multi media, graphics, AV, spreadsheets, live web links etc) to be attached to any code of any variable, such as advertising executions to a week code, pack shots to a brand code, or anything else you like

Now you have no excuse putting up with unproductive, slow or ancient software which does nothing for your productivity; Ruby gives you it all!
