SPSS delivers a statistical analysis report in a format that is easy to understand and produces graphs and charts that pictorially describe findings that are included in final reports. SPSS software measures and tracks attitudes and opinions and coordinates multiple surveys of different audiences using Web surveys. Additionally, CRA has the capability of efficiently sharing findings with stakeholders and all interested parties in an on-line format.

Qualitative Data Analysis

CRA uses Atlas.ti Software to analyze qualitative data. ATLAS.ti is a versatile workbench for analyzing large bodies of qualitative data including: textual, graphical, audio, and video data. It offers a variety of tools for accomplishing the tasks associated with any systematic approach to unstructured data, that is, data that cannot be meaningfully analyzed by formal, statistical approaches. Atlas.ti makes it possible to survey large populations about their thoughts and opinions and organize the rich data into a usable concise report. Atlas.ti interfaces with SPSS for an technologically and advanced method of finding meaning that can be quantified within large amounts of textual data.
Surveys

CR Analysis has the capability of developing surveys and collecting surveys in many different formats including conducting on-line surveys. On-line anonymous surveys allow participants to feel free to be more honest and candid in their responses.
