Are Canadian Businesses Leveraging Technology?

We need your input!

Hello,

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is the national voice for the whole business community.We periodically need to reach out to get a snapshot of how businesses are engaging on a specific issue in order to put forward the best policy advice to the federal government. We are asking for your input on how your business is using internet based technology to provide advice about the deployment of broadband, incentives to adopt new technology and cyber security.

In order to respond to this questionnaire, you need to have a good understanding of how your business uses technology, which applications your business uses and what policies you have in place. We ask that you forward this questionnaire to the person in your organization best placed to answer these questions. The aggregated results of this survey will be used in future Canadian Chamber of Commerce reports, testimony to Parliamentary Committees and submissions to government.

We know your time is valuable. And though it will only take a few minutes to complete this survey, we are offering a small incentive. Everyone who completes this survey (and provides their name and contact information) will be entered into a draw to win an iPad Mini. Your personal information and any information about your specific business will remain confidential. Although your name and contact information is not required to complete the survey, it is required to be entered into the draw. The draw will be made on Monday, January 16th and the winner will be announced on the Canadian Chamber website.

We ask that you complete the survey by close of business on Friday January 13th, 2017. If you have any questions, please contact:
