With technology from Database Systems Corp., we can develop your IVR survey applications using our Interactive Voice Response (IVR) software. Surveys can be initiated by outbound phone calls or can be a response to callers.

Using our PACER (digital) or WIZARD (analog) survey dialer phone system with our automated survey software, we can call your survey prospects and play a highly focused and custom greeting.

We provide your telephone survey audience the option to take your survey or even talk with a representative, leave a voice message, hear additional information, or simply decline to participate in the survey. The survey can accept touchphone response or can record each question response for later analysis.

To view how other businesses and organizations are using this type of automated phone survey, please visit our Phone Survey Applications web page.

Our automated telephone survey service begins by distributing survey invitations either at a store location or by mail. Survey participants are asked to call a 1-800 number and answer the survey questions by pushing buttons on their telephone's touch-tone keypad.

Responses generally occur within a day or so of the invitation and respondents can call from their home or office 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Thus, the process is convenient and will not interrupt their family or work routine. In fact, respondents enjoy this unique process so much; they are often left with a more positive feeling toward the subject company – feeling that the research is a true service and benefit to them.

Our automatic surveys provide better response profiles than many other methods, and higher response rates than many other methodologies – all at a lower cost per interview than traditional live interviewer telephone surveys or mystery shoppers.
