2009 TSIA Compensation study

Participation is no longer available for this Multi-Member Study. The study is now in quarantine.


TSIA creates opportunities for members to participate in focused benchmarking studies that go beyond the core research that forms the basis of our primary PS dataset. Two studies were successfully completed by TSIA in 2009 PS Project Performance and Market Rates. We are now launching a third study on Compensation.

Study Methodology
The TSIA 2009 Compensation Study is a multi-member study with a focus on several metrics (to be determined by TSIA and the Steering Committee) associated with technology professional services compensation.

Participating member companies contribute data to the Study and share in the Study results.  Contributing data is the key commitment made by participating member companies.  Respondent anonymity—individual and company—will be maintained for all participants.

We will continue to accept new participants through the end of September.
The Study will be open to TSIA members only.

The Study questionnaire will be designed with input from, and review by a Steering Committee, composed of representatives from five participating member companies.

TSIA analysts will administer the survey, and perform a detailed analysis of the survey results, including normalization for all variations, as needed.
TSIA will create all deliverables, including an Executive Summary and a full Research Report.  (See €œDeliverables€ below.)

Schedule
The TSIA 2009 Compensation Study will be conducted according to the following schedule:

  • September:  Begin recruiting regular participants
  • September €“ October:  Finalize and Field Study
  • October €“ November:  Collect and Analyze Data
  • December:  Participant Webcast/Finalize Study

Analysis
Topics covered in the survey could include (but will not be limited to):

  • Compensation Policies and Practices.  30 data elements covering 5 major categories:  demographics, general policies and practices, incentive compensation practices, incentive compensation plans by position, incumbent data by position and country.

  • Data Elements.  49 compensation counts across 12 positions and 15 geographies, including 6 pay levels and a myriad of other variables, against actual industry salary data including over 8,200 individual data points.


The Steering Committee, in cooperation with TSIA, will determine the actual survey instrument and the scope of the study.

Deliverables
Steering Committee members and Contributing Participants will receive the following deliverables:

  • Participants-only results webcast

How to Participate
Once the analysis is complete, Contributing Participants (including Steering Committee member companies) will have access to the detailed study results exclusively for four months. After the four-month quarantine period, the study results will be made available to the broader membership. Participating companies are not identified outside of the participant group, and the study results are only available to member companies.
