Although phone and online surveys are increasingly popular, many times a paper survey is still the best way to capture people’s views and preferences. IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Paper offers features that make it easy and efficient to create high-quality paper surveys. And because it integrates with other IBM SPSS Data Collection survey research products, you’ll find the entire survey research process goes more smoothly – allowing you to give internal or external clients the insight they need for decision-making.

Get the right look and layout
With IBM SPSS Data Collection Paper, you can:

  • Design a consistent theme and layout for a single questionnaire, or all of your questionnaires

  • Design question and document templates and make them available to all survey creators

  • Present various types of questions in several different ways

  • Uses standard formatting for numbers, text, categorical and matrix questions automatically

  • Automatically include standard interview instructions, including instructions in the right language

Save time and increase accuracy with IBM SPSS Data Collection Scan
When you scan paper questionnaires, you avoid the costs and quality-control issues inherent in manual processing. IBM SPSS Data Collection Scan automates the preparation of surveys for scanning and makes it cost effective to scan not only large, continuous projects, but also small, ad hoc surveys.

  • Prepare surveys for scanning with just a few mouse clicks, keeping the survey validation intact

  • Automate the identification and setup of all respondent input areas of your survey questionnaire, such as tick boxes, letters, and numbers for optical mark reading (OMR) or optical character recognition (OCR)

  • Ensure proper validation of each response with the appropriate question and question type automatically

  • Work seamlessly with the popular ReadSoft® DOCUMENTS for FORMS (link resides outside of ibm.com) scanning and document management solution

Provide survey respondents with flexible options
Increase survey response rates by giving respondents options. Offering the choice of completing a survey by phone or online is appealing to many participants, especially if they don’t need to repeat the parts of the survey they’ve already completed. You can do this by using IBM SPSS Data Collection Paper with other interviewing products, such as IBM Data Collection Phone Interviews and IBM SPSS Data Collection Web Interviews.

Deliver timely results
Through IBM SPSS Data Collection Paper’s integration with other IBM SPSS products, you can provide results quickly and clearly to all stakeholders.

Gain greater value from IBM SPSS Data Collection Paper by using it with an IBM SPSS Data Collection Authoring tool -- desktop or server versions -- or with IBM SPSS Data Collection Author Professional.
