EZ Stats is a quick, easy, and free monthly survey that provides regular insight on the entire control system industry. The survey provides the CSIA community (you) with a monthly gauge of trailing performance, current capacity and sentiment about the direction of the industry. In addition, the survey asks a couple of ad-hoc questions each month to provide insights on the community’s thinking about current topics.

It takes about two minutes to answer 3 to 5 questions every month. Three of the questions are always the same: What was your revenue, do you have capacity to take on more work, and are you optimistic about the future? That’s it. One number and two yes-or-no questions.

Your information is anonymous! A third party company called iLumen hosts this survey and provides the results for CSIA.
