WinCati is the most widely-used CATI system.
WinCati is used by commercial, not-for-profit, and academic research organizations around the world. It is the most widely-used CATI system because it provides a unique combination of features, expandability, and value.
WinCati offers:
- Powerful Interviewing Capabilities
WinCati’s interviewing software is the advanced Sensus system for writing and administering computer-aided questionnaires. Its extensive capabilities let anyone create simple questionnaires quickly and complex questionnaires efficiently. - Quick and Easy Study Setup
WinCati is an advanced CATI system that lets you set up complex studies with tight deadlines using your existing staff. You don’t have to turn away quick turn-around studies or field them on paper. - Intelligent Study Administration
WinCati works for you like an expert supervisor. It makes thousands of decisions every second to ensure that your studies are administered rigorously and to your exact specifications. - Productive and Affordable Dialing Options
WinCati’s Rapid Dial can increase interviewer productivity 10-20% at a substantially reduced cost compared to traditional dialers. - Pre-Defined Reports
WinCati’s built-in reports give you all the information you need to effectively manage a study - there’s no setup. And, it is the first CATI system to compute the AAPOR outcome rates. - Ease of Learning
WinCati is deceptively simple. We’ve done the hard work for you by designing a sophisticated system that is uncomplicated and intuitive. Supervisors can be trained in hours, rather than days; interviewers can be trained in minutes, rather than hours. - Standard PC Technology
WinCati incorporates mainstream PC hardware and software. Compatible and inexpensive equipment, software tools, and system support are readily available, and you won’t be stuck with obsolete technology in the future. - Expandability
With WinCati, you can start at the level of investment appropriate for your organization and then expand as you grow. If you start with a networked CATI system with fewer than 20 stations, you can use a Peer-to-Peer network, avoiding the cost of network software and a file server, and then migrate to a Windows network when you grow. In any case, when it’s time to expand, the full purchase price of your interviewing system is credited toward the price of a new system of the same version. - One System for CATI, Web, and CATI/Web Mixed Mode Interviewing
with WinCati’s Mixed Mode option, you can do pure CATI, pure Web, or combined CATI/Web interviewing. No other system is as fully integrated. - User Benefits

In addition, Sawtooth Technologies publishes newsletters and holds seminars and conferences where users can share experiences and learn new applications and technologies. - Affordability
