Watson Wyatt Compass™ is a 100% web-based survey system used for the Watson Wyatt Total Rewards Surveys (TRS). It is a tool for data entry, analysis and reporting which allows companies who subscribe to TRS in the Asia Pacific region and around the globe to obtain the most comprehensive compensation and benefits data at anytime, from anywhere. It has the highest level of security and reliability ensuring participants confidentiality of their data.

Developed using Microsoft's latest .net technology, Watson Wyatt Compass™ will be rolled out in June 2003. The system is available in English and has translations in Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional.

With Watson Wyatt Compass™ you will be able to:

• perform data entry and report generation using the internet, which effectively shortens the survey process.
• have the option to enter survey information using a pre-formatted spreadsheet and then importing the data directly into the system.
• automatically check your data because the system has built-in validation standards that flags errors or missing required data. Validation reports are auto-generated by the system and immediately transmitted to the user via e-mail.
• compute for total remuneration figures for incumbent data entered into the system at the very instant complete information is keyed-in and/or updated because the system allows for real-time benefits quantification.
