the language and application that changed everything

the Survent advantage

Survent has an easy-to-use command language with an emphasis on easy-to-program screen displays and simple logic statements.

Survent is constantly being upgraded and improved by our research technologists to ensure data collection capabilities keep pace with changes in the industry and changes in technology. The lastest update enables full multi-modal research (CATI and Web Surveys), remote inverviewing and centralized project management (webCATI), and online CATI project superviorvision and reporting (webSuper).

All data collection modules of CfMC software are powered by the same powerful Survent engine. You only need to learn one base scripting language to empower data collection via telephone interviewing, handheld devise, or the Web.

a heritage of innovation

CfMC released the first commercially available CATI system in the world in 1976. Within five years, Survent was being installed on the first CAPI system.

CfMC was there in the mid-1980s when the first auto-dialing for screen interviewing was introduced to the industry.

Today, Survent continues to lead the industry in capabilities and remains the most flexible language and the most powerful CATI and CAPI interviewing tool on the market.
