Survey Suites

As a survey professional, you want the freedom and power to tackle all aspects of your survey projects—with the goals of achieving a high response rate and collecting accurate data. To help you reach these goals, you should provide respondents with the widest range of survey delivery methods. Offering choices makes for a smarter, unbiased survey that delivers valuable results. For this reason, Scantron offers survey suites: software, hardware, services and forms packaged together to give you a total survey solution. This solution provides you with powerful functionality, depth and breadth—notable attributes in the survey industry.

The Survey Process

To be successful, you must consider and manage the distinct aspects and phases of a survey:

Design

An intuitive and effectively designed survey is a critical building block for success. Well-designed surveys, regardless of format, help increase response rates, minimize survey costs and improve data accuracy. You can design surveys for the web with e-mail invitations, on scannable forms and as kiosk campaigns. The goal is to ensure that, regardless of collection method, you can consolidate the responses into a common database.

Administration

When administering a survey, flexibility is key to that survey's effectiveness and efficiency. Surveys are most effective when they're administered using multiple distribution methods. In other words, there's no single delivery method that serves as a magic bullet to produce high response rates. For real data with real meaning, a survey must reach the audience in a format that is both convenient to your responders and cost-intelligent to your company.

Data Collection

Data collection is one of the most complex aspects of survey administration. Gathering responses from survey participants can appear daunting to even the most seasoned professionals. Participants may be responding by paper, kiosk, disc or web. All of this data has to be collected—quickly and accurately—into a common database for reporting and analysis. Scantron recognizes this challenge, and offers the tools necessary to make the data collection phase as straightforward and reliable as possible, while saving time and money otherwise spent on data entry personnel.

Reporting & Analysis

Surveys are conducted for the response data. If you're like most survey professionals, you inevitably want to look at data from several angles. Being able to filter the data, then display it in a variety of clear and informative reports allows for more thorough analysis. Scantron understands that the more quickly you can put reports in the hands of an organization's influencers and decision makers, the more quickly change can be affected.
