Take the Capturx Poll - Win Free Software

We are starting a new series of polls, where teams can share their points of view on a variety of issues affecting field operations. The polls are anonymous and we will publish the aggregate results allowing teams to see how their peer organizations are thinking about various issues.

Our first poll poses some questions about how teams work with paper, how they’ve been affected by the economic downturn, and planning for potential stimulus money.

By taking the poll, you can also get a chance to win a FREE copy of Capturx for Microsoft Office OneNote. After completing poll simply send an email to info@adapx.com with "poll" in the subject line.

Thanks!
