What Is DataOnDemand?
DOD is a hands-on application that gives institutions and up to six specified users direct access to survey data from the date of purchase until January 31 of the following year. Users also have access to results for that survey from the prior four years. DOD is a great value as you can conduct your own analyses any time you want and as often as you want, using peer comparison groups that you create. Use of DOD is limited only by the five restrictions in place to protect confidentiality:
- No salary data are linked to a given institution (other than where a user has permission to see his or her own institution’s data).
- No salary data are reported for positions with fewer than five responding institutions.
- A comparison group must include a minimum of eight institutions that participated in the survey.
- Each comparison group created and used must differ by at least three institutions from all other existing and deleted comparison groups.
- The weighted data option provides salary data only for positions with five or more responding institutions and in which all responding institutions comprise 25.0% or less of position incumbents. If a position has at least five responding institutions but one institution represents more than 25% of the incumbents, salary data is not reported.
Using DOD is easy. In most instances, all you have to do is create your own comparison group and run one or more of the standard reports we have created to meet your informational needs.
In addition to the standard reports, you can also create slide shows and presentations, and even conduct your own informal Geographical Statistical Area (GSA) analyses by using the New Group Wizard to create comparison groups based on Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
DOD is available to all higher education institutions, regardless of survey participation. Institutions may have multiple users for each DOD subscription. For maximum value, we recommend purchasing a survey report and access to DataOnDemand. We offer discount pricing for purchases of multiple reports and multiple subscriptions to DataOnDemand. Whether you are part of an institution, system or consortium, you can use these discounts to reduce your overall costs.
DOD is available for all of CUPA-HR’s salary and benefits surveys.
