The objects in the report can be automatically updated. The results may also be presented in a document (.docx .pdf), which, when printed, may be part of the documentation.
Online distribution of reports
A web report is the fastest way to publish results. It is available from the browser level for all authorized recipients. In the case of cyclical reports, they can be executed automatically as part of the process. In this case, after generating a scheduled report, the system can send a notification to selected users.
For whom?
We reach customers all over the world. Only the collection and collation of information gathered in different languages allows me to answer the key questions for the company.
My business is international in nature and all planned global changes must be supported by evidence of their legitimacy. Therefore, it is extremely important for me to be able to obtain information from every corner of the world. The key elements that I pay attention to are the ability to reach a high number of participants in their native language and the ability to easily compare the data collected in this way. It is also important to be able to modify the visual elements.
Automatic and continuous monitoring of data quality, verification of data increments and reporting of results.
When making important decisions, we verify the opinions of citizens and constantly monitor social sentiment. These surveys are expected by decision-makers and provide recommendations.
Reporting requires continuously updated and reliable information. A reporting study gives me an effective tool to obtain such information.
In the case of public administration units, it is important to collect data that are strictly of reporting value. The form of the report must be adjusted to the statutory requirements. A major obstacle is the dispersion and lack of systemic coherence between various territorial units. Effective acquisition of this type of information requires an extensive control functionality, such as cross validations, summaries of given responses, printouts of confirmations etc. the collection of data that are strictly of reporting value. The form of the report must be adapted to the statutory requirements. A huge obstacle here is the dispersion and lack of systemic cohesion between various territorial units. Effective acquisition of this type of information requires a very complex control functionality such as: cross validations, summaries of granted responses, printouts of confirmations, etc.
The management appreciate information about cooperation between the departments. We are able to continuously improve weak elements of the communication process.
Periodic analysis of the quality of cooperation between different departments is one of the most effective ways to control this area of business activity. Using the knowledge provided through PS QUAESTIO PRO, I can quickly respond to disturbing symptoms by e.g. putting adequate corrective procedures in place. Initially, the project was a pilot one. Currently, almost all management staff at the various levels of responsibility use the results obtained.
Offered functions
Quickly create and launch surveys
PS QUAESTIO PRO is equipped with an intuitive graphical interface that gives the user the ability to design visually attractive survey questionnaires and forms. As a result, the process of creating surveys of any length, even with very complex logic, is fast and simple.
The system gives the possibility to immediately start the process of collecting responses while maintaining maximum efficiency and quality of collected data.
Study implementation by means of various research techniques
The central panel allows for the management of simultaneous implementation of research projects conducted using various research techniques (CATI, CAWI, CAPI, PAPI). The user has full control over the process, can verify correctness of the entered data, manage the selection of the sample, or generate mass e-mails. The technology ensures security in access to research projects and to the questionnaire, while maintaining confidentiality of the responses.
Conducting research with off-line techniques
PS QUAESTIO PRO includes solutions for off-line research (CAPI and PAPI). The system is equipped with a number of solutions facilitating direct interviews, including a clear interface for entering answers and a module for recording selected interview fragments. It also has a mechanism for validation and coding of questionnaire questions from paper interviews. In addition, it allows for automatic combining of all answers for studies conducted with different techniques.
Universal, multilingual questionnaires
Once prepared, a questionnaire can be used many times in different language versions and in any form of implementation - as an online survey, a telephone interview or a paper questionnaire. The tools available in PS QUAESTIO PRO to facilitate the translation of questionnaires and their preparation for the survey are helpful in this respect. The work is also facilitated by the possibility of simultaneous, mass sending of invitations in many language versions.
Surveys using quota samples
The program allows to carry out research with a quota mechanism using a quick and simple solution. Individual quotas determined by the researcher may be calculated on the basis of survey questions or values defined in the database of survey participants. A survey implemented with the use of a quota sample allows the researcher, among other things, to control who will take part in the survey.
Easy sending of invitations to the survey
Defining mailing campaigns to respondents on the basis of selected criteria. PS QUAESTIO PRO allows the user to plan and send invitations and reminders according to the schedule. It is also possible to personalize the content on the basis of information contained in the database of participants - this creates an impression of direct contact, increasing the response rate.
Survey progress reporting
Real-time access to a set of statistics and diagnostic charts for any research project, which can also be viewed on Android and iOS mobile devices. An analysis of the survey progress report can be helpful in determining when to send a reminder to participants about the survey, at which question the respondents most often drop out of the survey, or how long it takes to complete the survey.
Access to a wide range of analytical techniques and tools
PS QUAESTIO PRO is based on IBM SPSS Statistics engine, which is a proven tool for quantitative data analysis. It offers numerous techniques for e.g. descriptive analysis, forecasting, prediction, classification and grouping. The engine has been extended by several dozen procedures. As a result, PS QUAESTIO PRO offers methods of managing data sets, transforming variables, analyzing dependencies and a number of new types results visualization, which were not available in IBM SPSS Statistics before.
Creating reports in a corporate standard
With the output analytical objects, the report author can easily prepare a customized information set. The report's definable elements include: layout, structure with navigation, style, appearance, format, descriptions and comments on objects. This allows for preparation of results in accordance with the standard of the organization. The finished report, depending on the established form, can be published on the company's website or simply sent as a PDF document.
Distribution of analytical content to eligible recipients
PS QUAESTIO PRO allows the user to create a unique distribution environment - for their own reports or for the whole company. Reports can be made available to specific users or separated groups of users according to their privileges. The reports collected in the repository are organized within a folder structure that can reflect, for example, the company's organizational structure or its business objectives.
Automation of repetitive processes
The possibility of permanent access to up-to-date information is crucial for the efficient operation of any company. This does not apply only to repetitive reports. In the case of ad hoc reports, it is often the case that published documents differ only in data. Until now, updating such a report required objects to be re-created and exported in IBM SPSS Statistics. Now, thanks to the available functionality, the process of updating and publishing ad hoc and cyclical reports (e.g. quarterly ones) is automated.
