CAPI capabilities
computer aided personal interviewing
Does you field force deploy person-to-prson or "face-to-face" interviewing? A CfMC solution gives you multiple choices for CAPI using the very same tried-and-tested, robust Survent engine.
CAPI without broadband coverage
CfMC has you covered for CAPI even without broadband coverage. With the size of laptops diminishing, interviewers no longer need to carry around luggable laptops of lore!
CAPI without internet connection is as simple as carrying around a notebook computer with the stand-alone version of Survent, and a periodic upload of the data to concatenate with the central data repository.
CAPI stand-alone requirements
notebooks/laptops with Survent stand-alone version.
CAPI with broadband coverage
Survent engine-driven webSurvent and/or webCATI can both be deployed in CAPI scenarios. The form factor of your chosen device is the only criteria to consider.
Using SmartPhones, PDAs, or laptop/notebook computers, your interviewers can conduct surveys in any location where internet connectivity is available.
Data is saved in real time on your central server so there are no data-related issues with individual devices being broken, lost, or damaged – and there is no manual upload required at the end of day.
