It is now time for DeskDemon's 2007 Management Support Role Annual Survey. As outlined below, we are conducting this survey to find out how your job is changing and what is important to you now and what will be important to you in the future - especially in terms of support and training. It also gives us a chance to discover how successful we are at supporting you too, and what we can work on to improve in the coming year.

And as a token of our thanks, there is an Olympus Digital Camera to be won by one lucky survey entrant. The camera is a perfect "point and shoot" model, designed for ease of use. And with five million pixels and a 2.8x optical zoom it produces images of superb quality as well.

There are also twenty runner up prizes of £10 M&S Vouchers up for grabs. So, to help us with our annual survey and for the chance to win one of these great prizes, please spend a few minutes to fill out this survey.
