Linux/Unix assistance
CfMC's browser-based tools run primarily on Linux/UNIX, primarily due to UNIX's superiority in stability and flexibility. To assist companies looking to utlize CfMC tools in their operations, we have compiled a list of recommended and informative Linux/Unix links
JavaScripts for Web-based research
Each install of CfMC Web-based data collection products (webSurvent and webCATI) include JavaScripts created just for the survey research industry.
Scripts available with each install include passing data through a survey URL (username and password, market/segment, etc), using a status bar, checking dynamic skip patterns, and much more.

Spec-writers, programmers and project managers send us their resumes when they are back on the market — e-mail our sales team with details of your staffing needs.
Our Service Bureau also provides a variety of project programming, management, and hosting services - (and more).
