  242. <p>Senecio Software Inc. announces the addition of new online survey research<br />
  243. services and Java applets to its line of computer-assisted interviewing<br />
  244. software.</p>
  245. <p>Bowling Green, Ohio, June 22, 1998 - Senecio Software, Inc. today announced<br />
  246. it is shipping ePoll, the public opinion research industry's most advanced<br />
  247. web survey package, as part of its growing line of computer assisted<br />
  248. interviewing software. This powerful Java applet is the industry's most<br />
  249. complete and robust surveying solution, capable of serving complex,<br />
  250. adaptive questionnaires over the World Wide Web. In addition to the<br />
  251. software, Senecio is also offering online market research services<br />
  252. including questionnaire construction, web survey hosting and custom<br />
  253. programming services to corporate clients, market research firms and<br />
  254. Internet Service Providers seeking to enhance their data gathering<br />
  255. capabilities over the Internet and corporate Intranets.</p>
  256. <p>Senecio's ePoll offers unparalleled capabilities to anyone administering<br />
  257. surveys over the World Wide Web. Compared to HTML forms and CGI scripted<br />
  258. surveys, the ePoll Java applet survey engine, in tandem with Senecio's<br />
  259. questionnaire editor, enables anyone to serve their ePoll-ready<br />
  260. questionnaire over the World Wide Web in a matter of minutes. Key features<br />
  261. include:</p>
  262. <p>- Integration with other surveying modules - the same questionnaire file<br />
  263. used with Senecio's telephone, personal interviewing and disk-by-mail<br />
  264. surveying modules for Macintosh and Windows is served over the global<br />
  265. Internet through ePoll!</p>
  266. <p>- Integration with database records - ePoll can receive, display and<br />
  267. manipulate any text material sent by CGI script for use in question wording<br />
  268. and as input to skip instructions.</p>
  269. <p>- Professional questionnaires - unlike HTML questionnaires, ePoll surveys<br />
  270. are designed to handle complex skips, random presentation of responses and<br />
  271. questions, on-the-fly calculations, and dynamic adaptive question wording<br />
  272. incorporating calculations and automatic "fills" from previous answers.</p>
  273. <p>- Multilingual questionnaires - write the questionnaire and collect your<br />
  274. data in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish,<br />
  275. Italian, and many other languages. (A variety of surveys in several<br />
  276. languages can be found on Senecio's web site under the online demonstration<br />
  277. section.)</p>
  278. <p>- Secure answers - respondents' answers are secure given ePoll's automatic<br />
  279. data encryption. And since ePoll is pure Java, Java's security is built<br />
  280. right in.</p>
  281. <p>- Almost any question type - ePoll collects information from multiple<br />
  282. response items specifying N-items, multiple response items specifying<br />
  283. N-items with a mutually exclusive "none of the above" response, multiple<br />
  284. response items specifying N-items with conditionally masked items, forced<br />
  285. ranking scales, fixed-sum scales, open ended verbatims, numerics both real<br />
  286. and integer, analog rating scales with sliders, pictorial scales, and<br />
  287. database form designs. Plus, the response time to each question can be<br />
  288. recorded and saved to data.</p>
  289. <p>- Multimedia - include pictures (i.e. GIF) and sound files (i.e. .AU) with<br />
  290. any ePoll questionnaire.</p>
  291. <p>"Our new Java applet, ePoll, is a real advance in web surveying<br />
  292. technology," said Dr. Jerry Wicks, President of Senecio Software. "Just<br />
  293. about all the firms offering web surveying software and services rely on<br />
  294. HTML and a scripting language. While HTML is a great solution for simple<br />
  295. surveys, the limitations become quickly apparent once you want to include<br />
  296. skip instructions and adaptive features in the questionnaire. For example,<br />
  297. if the questionnaire is complex, i.e. containg a number of automatic skips,<br />
  298. and you're rushing to put that survey into the field and your client wants<br />
  299. to add questions at the eleventh hour, you're forced to make a number of<br />
  300. detailed changes to your HTML code. Since very little is automated in this<br />
  301. process, this approach to writing and then editing the questionnaire is<br />
  302. slow and prone to error."</p>
  303. <p>"Senecio came at the problem from a completely different direction," points<br />
  304. out Jos Pereira de Almeida, Director of Engineering. Instead of relying on<br />
  305. HTML, we chose to write a Java applet that could read our existing survey<br />
  306. package's questionnaire file and replay it over the Web. It is important to<br />
  307. note that this is the same questionnaire file used in our telephone<br />
  308. interviewing and disk-by-mail surveying modules. So while ePoll uses the<br />
  309. latest Java technology to collect data over the Web, the questionnaire file<br />
  310. is created using a page layout editing system with a rich heritage. ePoll<br />
  311. uses the best of these two environments, resulting in what we believe is<br />
  312. the most sophisticated, yet easiest to use, survey package on the Web."</p>
  313. <p>"We also realized that many companies that want to place surveys on the<br />
  314. global Internet or corporate Intranet have neither the resources nor<br />
  315. inclination to establish and maintain an online survey site," said Dr.<br />
  316. Wicks. "That's why we decided to add survey programming options, web<br />
  317. hosting, data compilation and simple tabbing services with our software<br />
  318. package. We offer everything from programming a basic questionnaire and<br />
  319. placing it on the customer's web site of choice, to designing and building<br />
  320. large corporate sites for conducting employee opinion polls and customer<br />
  321. satisfaction surveys."</p>
  322. <p>Pricing and availability</p>
  323. <p>Senecio's ePoll is shipping, with the cost of an annual lease ranging from<br />
  324. $1,000 to $5,000 for corporate sites, $1,000 to $2,000 for academic and<br />
  325. government sites, and $495 to $16,000 for survey research service bureaus.<br />
  326. Current MaCATI sites receive a fifty percent discount the first year<br />
  327. following upgrade. All MaCATI sites now receive a license to the full range<br />
  328. of data collection modules including CATI, CAPI, Disk-by-Mail and ePoll.</p>
  329. <p>Sample service costs for programming a short questionnaire $300, and $1,000<br />
  330. for set-up and Web hosting. Custom Java and CGI programming jobs for<br />
  331. corporate and government sites are available on request.</p>
  332. <p>System requirements</p>
