OVERVIEW

The "Pay4N" service is offered by of CADAS Software Sp. z o. o. to everyone who is organizing field work for their interview-based surveys and who lacks the needed IT facilities at the given time.

Potential purchasers of the Pay4N service will not need, in particular:

• any experience or competences in operation of surveying systems, which support field work;
• any human or material resources needed for execution of a specific surveying project in the field.

However, in order to deliver even the most complex and sophisticated interviews for demanding customers, it would be sufficient for Pay4N service customer at least to acquire some field agents (e.g. interviewers, auditors, researchers) and their necessary material resources (such as a CATI studio, some premises to house In-Hall tests, interviewers equipment, etc.). Then, CADAS Software Sp. z o. o. would deliver the missing link of the cooperation chain, which means they would ensure for the purchaser:

• authorized access to the CADAS - a proven IT interviewing system, i.e. the CADAS cloud, which stores ready to use modules, such as: CAWI, CAPI, MOBI or CATI ( In-Hall or At.Home);
• IT support for the project provided by qualified CADAS Software Sp. z o. o. operators, acting as service-providers, who when requested would perform commissioned tasks for the project in the CADAS cloud.

This service is particularly useful for small market survey and opinion polling agencies, as well as for independent field work coordinators, in situations when they have to compete in terms of operational capabilities and quality with other agencies using top-class surveying systems and when it is not economically justified to invest in their own IT infrastructure, dedicated software or qualified operators.

The CADAS system has been purposefully designed to ensure very efficient, convenient and reliable acquisition of raw polling data by market survey and opinion polling agencies, for whom over 70% of the overall computing power of permanent CADAS Software Sp. z o.o. licensees is available at the current time (for more details, please SEE -> )

Everyone who will send us a request for proposal in accordance with the Pay4N SERVICE PROCEDURE presented blow (by filling the Pay4N SERVICE FORM enclosed on this site), will immediately receive from us a proposal tailored to specifics of their particular project, unless of course customer's requirements turn out to exceed the scope of activities offered under this service, which are specified in detail in items 1) to 3) of the said DETAILED SCOPE OF THE Pay4N SERVICE.
