The IPAS Difference:




IPAS was launched in 1997 as a new concept in salary surveys – a single source for international pay data for the high tech industry, yet priced like a single country survey.

Today, IPAS is recognized by industry HR professionals as a high quality survey that reports on the key reward elements (base, incentive, allowances, benefits, stock, etc.) for all levels of jobs from the CEO to clerk for approximately 70 countries, including the US and Canada – plus developing countries like India, China, and Russia. Merit Budgets and Sales Practices are also covered. With data contributed by the top firms in the industry, you get reliable and robust data, which is displayed and analyzed on a “you versus market” basis on our state of the art, On-Line tool. Results are also displayed by industry segment, company size, management scope, city/region, and new hires/existing employees.

This is the only single product that allows you to price the same job around the world using the same methodology and participants. Its simple design makes it easy to complete and easy to use. It’s a “give all / get all” product, so you receive the entire world report regardless of where you currently operate. Data is refreshed annually, and our system allows you to “age” the data at rates that we suggest or that you prefer.

"We have utilized IPAS for quality EMEA market data for a number of years. With their On-Line tool, IPAS is a really ‘easy to use' instrument to analyze the market data in a very comprehensive way."
- Günter Süssespeck, C&B Competitive Intelligence Leader, IBM - Europe/Middle East/Africa
"IPAS is the only survey out there that offers complete global and position coverage in one product. The price of the survey is only a fraction of what you would pay for a country or function specific survey at other consulting firms. The staff members at ICR are wonderful and personable. They know all of their customers by first name and aim to provide the highest quality service and best in class survey out there. That's why Symantec has been a dedicated IPAS participant since our first introduction in 2001 !"
- Hayley Constantino - Manager, WW Sales and Consulting Compensation, Symantec Corporation

- Julie Ward, Rewards Director - Motorola EMEA
