INTRODUCTION INEs STRATEGY

1. Building integrated system.
2. Managing by standardized tools.
3. Using corporate DataBases.
4. Allow to reuse tasks, processes and information

4
WHATS IRIA?
IRIA is a modular and configurable system that
allows the end-user (without computer skills), to
design, build, debug, run and manage all kind of
surveys and reuse all modules or information with
minimal participation of IT Department and
generating a corporate database of raw data
allowing natural integration from different types
of information
5
MODULAR CONFIGURABLE
IRIA is made by a pool of configurable modules.
If some modules are selected/configured in a
certain way, we will build a specific data
collection application. These same modules
differently configured will build a different
data collection application.
6
END-USER

• IRIA is a tool for the end-user, therefore IRIA
  has been developed using the following
  guidelines
• It must be a simple and user-friendly interface.
• It must have on-line help.
• It must allow us to do enough tests in order to
  be sure that the survey is free of errors.

7
ALL KIND OF SURVEYS

• Social and economic.
• Structural and short-term

ALL COLLECTING CHANNELS

• CAPI (Computer-assisted personal interviewing)
• CAWI (Computer-assisted web interviewing)
• CATI (Computer-assisted telephone interviewing)
• PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interview)

8
REUSE

• Reuse is a key feature of the IRIA system. It
  covers the reuse of both
• Components Copying from a survey all kind of
  items including the whole questionnaire, getting
  libraries etc.
• Information. IRIA is a unique system for all
  surveys so it may use data from earlier periods
  of the same survey or data from other surveys or,
  indeed, data residing in other information
  repositories. This can be accessed by database
  query, web services, or uploading additional
  information to the IRIA system.
• Reuse is essential for significant reductions of
  time to start gathering information.

CREATING AND RUN MULTICHANNEL SURVEYS

• Create the survey itself and define its
  properties
• Create the multichannel questionnaire.
• Run the survey.
• Manage the survey
• Debug the survey.

12
iriaMANAGER Create, define properties and manage
the survey
CREATE SURVEY

iriaDESIGNER Design, Build, Test

• iriaDESIGNER allows questionnaires to be
  designed, built and tested with a user-friendly
  interface.
• For practical purposes iriaDESIGNER
  distinguishes
• Structure of the questionnaire
• Global items. Can be applied to whole or part of
  the questionnaire.

CREATE QUESTIONNAIRE
14
iriaDESIGNER Design, Build, Test

• Languages used in the interview.
• Functions, which can be obtained from the library
  or created from scratch.
• Templates to improve or adjust the appearance of
  screens and interview questions.
• Style guides.
• Use of general messages.
• Other items, such as database connection, the
  definition of the toolbar, link to Help, etc

Global elements
15
iriaDESIGNER- How?

• Reusing any existing component from IRIA
  (questions, screens, flows, styles, templates,
  libraries, etc).
• Creating any not previously existing component.
• The questions can be obtained from the corporate
  metadata system.

CREATE QUESTIONNAIRE
16
AFTER Design, Build and Test
OK
17
RUN THE MULTICHANNEL SURVEY
18
DEBUG

• The user can establish
• Set of validations on survey collection
• Different set of validations to consider that a
  questionnaire is valid.
• A questionnaire can be valid in the collection
  stage and not valid for processing, implying a
  debug thereof.

19
MANAGE MULTICHANNEL SURVEY
Data collection by multichannel systems would be
chaos if you can't manage properly. The
sub-subsystem of IRIA to monitor and manage the
status of the collection is iriaDATACOLLECTON
20
iriaDATACOLLECTION
This is responsible to perform and control all of
the activities conducted during the data
collection phase.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE SITUATION OF SURVEY COLLECTING
21
iriaDATACOLLECTION
KNOWLEDGE OF THE STATUS FOR EACH QUESTIONNAIRE
Accessing to the real situation of each
questionnaire.
DISTRIBUTION AND CONTROL TASKS
Depending on the users permissions, may can have
control over collection units, surveys and
collecting channels for assigning or reassigning
all kind tasks.

ADVANTAGES

• Control in real time over all elements of the
  survey.
• To have a single IT tool for the design, building
  and run of all surveys and all collection
  channels allows to NSI
• Distribute tasks among INEs units according to
  the knowledge of the users.
• Reusing the defining elements from other surveys.
• Reuse of the formulation of questions and their
  associated lists from a library (metadata)

27
ADVANTAGES

• To have a single storage system for all survey
  information allows, Reusing information of some
  other surveys and from other administrative
  sources.
• Time reduction for questionnaire development
  from 8 to 2-3 months and less outsourcing
  dependence.

28
ADVANTAGES

• With IRIA most of the surveys may be carried out
  sequentially CAWI?PAPI / CATI?CAPI implying a
  reduction in the costs of data collection. For
  the Survey on the Structure of Agricultural
  Operations (2013) its saving has been over 50
  compared with the costs of previous survey
  (2007).
• 2007 Total costs 3.794.906 (interviewers
  plus data recording)
• 2013 Budget 1.782.887 (all channels).

29
ADVANTAGES

• Costs reductions 1 mill /year saving in
  structural surveys.
• Releasing IT resources
• For 31 economic surveys and 4 household surveys
  which are currently in production, the IT
  Department took part only in 2 of them.
• IRIA is helping to ease the lack of personnel in
  the IT Department
