NIPO Software partners with Language Logic (Ascribe coding module)

NIPO Software announces a new partnership with Language Logic for the online coding module Ascribe. All NIPO Software users now have the option to do the coding of verbatim using the Ascribe application.

Some of the advantages of using Ascribe are the global accessibility of the coding application, the fact that no installation is required as the system is browser based and that the workload can be distributed among multiple users, wherever they may be. The intuitive interface and distributive architecture of Ascribe improves turnaround time and the quality of the coding projects.

Ascribe Media Server is Language Logic's groundbreaking coding application that allows your company to include multimedia verbatim comments into the coding and reporting process. Next to the typed open ends, all the hand-written comments and recorded audio comments collected with the NIPO Software data collection systems can also be coded using the Ascribe Media Server.

According to Jeroen Noordman, Commercial Director of NIPO Software, the partnership with Ascribe "will give our clients more flexibility with respect to their data processing operations and will produce savings on IT and other costs."

Cincinnati based Language Logic has only one focus - coding textual comments so that their content is useful for decision makers. This is done in two ways, through Ascribe and by providing out-sourced verbatim coding services.

NIPO Software will act as reseller of Ascribe for all our clients.

The online reporting capabilities of NIPO Diamond Portal System

Data access for your clients

NIPO Diamond Portal System (DPS) offers your clients ONLINE access to their data. The core of the system consists of an online tabulation package, fieldwork and quota overview modules and administrative tools. With NIPO DPS your clients 24 hours a day keep in track with their projects by viewing real-time response overviews and view pre-defined cross tabulations and graphics. Additionally, you can give them access to a (sub) set of all survey variables and which allows them to define their crosses on the fly.

Secure client logins

Both tables and graphs are shown in your client's browser. Your client is offered guaranteed safe access to his/her data from any PC in a hotel room, on an airport, at home, at an Internet bar, etc.

Adding separate modules

NIPO Software took a modular approach when building the NIPO DPS. The basic system can be extended by adding two different software modules: OLAP and dynamic generation of table reports.

Accessibility

In a 24-hours economy there is a need to have data and applications available at any time and any place. The NIPO DPS is multi-faceted like a diamond and allows access to data and services where ever and whenever you need it. The NIPO Diamond Portal System offers complete Web-based portal services for researchers and their clients.

NIPO Web Hosting

Interviewing via Internet is pre-eminently suitable to do research in a quick and cost-efficient way. The great degree of flexibility for both the respondent as the client means unlimited possibilities for the survey. At the same time the response rates will be higher as the respondents can complete the questionnaire at their convenience. This makes online interviewing also a very good instrument for research among difficult to reach target groups.

Next to licencing the NIPO Web Interview System, NIPO Software now also offers the service to host your surveys online.

If you decide to host with us, you can opt to script your own questionnaire in NIPO ODIN or subcontract this to our programmers. After that, NIPO Software will design the questionnaire in your desired look & feel and send out the invitations to the respondents. You can monitor the fieldwork online using response overviews and online reporting.

NIPO Web Hosting will offer you all the benefits of online research, without investing in expensive infrastructure.

More information about the possibilities for your organisation to do online research in a modern, respondent-friendly manner, can be found on the NIPO Software Website.
