cleaner, faster data

"What CWEST can do for you"

Reduced Costs

CWEST has been built by survey people passionate about delivering results and with an impatience for peripheral costs. CWEST substantially reduces costs in many ways, including:

  • Eliminating programming of Data Entry applications like CSPro.
  • No need to hire and manage data entry staff
  • Less staff means smaller office space, smaller number of computers to administer; you can run your operations with a smaller team.
  • Eliminating questionnaire editing
  • No printing, collating, transporting and storage of paper questionnaires.
  • Costless updates to the questionnaire if changes are needed during the survey (no need to reprint, simply transmit the update).
  • No expensive data-cleaning work
  • Reduced risk of loss of data: every day data are backed up on a secure server; no more boxes with paper questionnaires containing months of work.


The larger the sample size and the more complex the survey instrument, the larger the cost savings through using CWEST.
