A lot is demanded from the Survey Manager. They are required to stay on top of what is happening on the field, while at the same time being available at headquarters or travelling to meet clients and researchers. CWEST provides tools to ease the burden. Data is uploaded daily (typically through the mobile telephone network) which CWEST automatically compiles into field progress reports. So wherever you are, you need only log into the secure server to get an overview of field operations. Communication with field teams, updates to the questionnaire or interviewers’ manual, it can all happen through the web. With CWEST, wherever you are, you can have visibility of your survey in progress.
