Survey Software CIS

Intuitive Questionnaire Programming

CISdev is an intuitively-operated Windows program, with which you can quickly start developing simple questionnaires after a short introduction. But it also contains an extensive suite of functions for highly complex questionnaires.

You lay out the questions on-screen, exactly the way that they should appear in the survey. WYSYWIG (“what you see is what you get”), CISdev offers the appropriate question type for every need.

You can generate an individual questionnaire for every respondent, depending on their previous answers, quota cells, or randomized stimulus materials.

You can create individual layout templates for all question types. In the master layout, you define all colors, shapes, fonts, spacing and functions

CIS supports all languages in the UNICODE standard.

The import function allows you to import questionnaire components directly from Excel or Word. An interface with Word makes it easy to copy and paste between a Word document and CIS.

You can integrate multimedia elements like sounds, images and film clips with a mouse click at any point in the questionnaire.

Implement qualitative question types and increase your respondents’ acceptance and staying power with the use of animated question elements.

You can define quotas in CIS at any level of complexity

The integrated simulation function allows you to run thousands of interviews with randomly selected responses. By analyzing these interviews you can ensure that your filters and quotas work as intended.
For archiving purposes, for checking  or for communication with clients or colleagues, you can print out the questionnaire with its layout together with its programming instructions, or in compact form as a Word document

In addition to the integrated reporting functions contained in CIS, you can export the data in a variety of formats such as ASCII, Excel or SPSS for further processing.

One Questionnaire for All Platforms

You can use CIS in any number of widely differing environments:

You only need one questionnaire for all environments. Once written, it runs practically unchanged on all platforms.

Mobile research with responsive design

Auf der Abbildung zur Befragungssoftware CIS sind verschiedene Arten von Mobile Devices zu sehen, die für Mobile Research eingesetzt werden.

CIS questionnaires can run on all current Smartphone models. Sizes and fonts dynamically adapt to the different screen sizes and orientations of the different models. The freely-definable and pixel-accurate positioning of all elements in your questionnaire is retained in the Smartphone version.

Just try our sample questionnaire. This doesn´t take five minutes, but will convince you.

Animation and Qualitative Market Research

The integration of interactive modules into online and offline studies makes it possible to include question types and tests that were previously only possible in a studio. They also have the potential to motivate the participants with an intuitive and animated questionnaire. Interviews become more enjoyable to answer, with fewer break-offs and better-quality responses.

CIS already contains a large number of interactive modules, and new ones are continuously being introduced.

Integration of Conjoint & CO

Query procedures for a range of conjoint and pricing methodologies are integrated into CIS.

CBC and an adaptive conjoint procedure (ICM) are standard components of CIS. Additionally, on request we can also integrate Sawtooth routines into online and offline – and via our interactive module also into CATI – questionnaires.    

With BPTO, preferences between product alternatives can be determined for different price positions. The interactive query procedure for this is integrated into CIS.

With MaxDiff you can determine a complete ranking of a large number of different offers on the basis of a simple questioning technique. CIS contains the necessary query procedures.

Active Respondents in CATI Interviews

With interactive CATI, new possibilities are opened up for telephone interviewing. Respondents can play an active part in the interview through their browser. They can answer conjoint questions directly on their monitor, view and rate adverts, and much more. But however independently the respondent can act, the interviewer always stays in control.

The interviewer tells the respondent an easy-to-remember web address and password. Once these are entered, the two computer screens become linked. The respective roles can be precisely defined when the questionnaire is programmed.

Organization, Reporting

CISnet is the online platform for the organization, hosting and monitoring of CIS projects and their participants. CISnet draws all the threads together.

With CISnet you can organize projects with hierarchical structures of unlimited complexity.

CISnet contains an extensive system for granting authorizations on an individual basis and provides a wide range of reporting and monitoring functions. Extensive tables can be automatically created directly from the questionnaire.

Quota specifications in CIS can be as complex as you need. You can set up and monitor the quota specifications online through CISnet.

Licensing and Hosting

You can use CIS and CISnet with a license precisely tailored to your requirements.

iqsn (interactive questionnaire service network) is the survey platform for CIS-based internet surveys. This platform is used for hosting of online surveys as well for management and data storage for offline projects.

 iqsn runs in a professional high-performance data center with a direct link to the internet. Maximum security in all areas is assured by measures ranging from multiply secured access controls and round-the-clock monitoring to independent emergency power supplies.
