Data Integrity

The quality of the data collected from your interview responses determines the quality of the business lead from the user. Poor quality data means extra money for you to follow-up with the user, and further frustration for the user. Our sophisticated validation engine allows you to require specific formats for data as well as the content of the data. With the Portrate Interview Engine, you can impose a specific date format, require key fields for data input, require a response be a selection from a list of options, and many other types of data validation. As with all aspects of the Portrate Interview Engine, the validation can be triggered from previous question responses.

Extensibility

Recognizing that you will want to add your own custom validation and display controls, we have made the Portrate Interview Engine highly extensible by you. With the help of a .NET programmer, you can add your own enhancements to the engine, thus giving you even more flexibility and control over the presentation of your interview.

Reusability

Unlike many other form generation engines, the Portrate Interview Engine allows you to re-use the interview forms in many different interviews. This gives you even more flexibility and control over your interview while reducing the labor costs of creating and maintaining the interviews. Being able to mix-and-match the forms allows you to create highly-customized interviews for your users without having to re-program the forms, thus saving you thousands of dollars!

Cost Effective

If you paid a design company on a per-page basis to create the interview pages for just one interview, you'd end up spending thousands of dollars. Think about that when you want to add more interviews to your web site. Quickly you can see how the Portrate Interview Engine will save you money by allowing you to re-purpose your existing forms for a variety of interviews. Our licensing model affords you a degree of flexibility in deploying many interviews using the same forms and some sophisticated display logic to control how those forms are displayed to your users. Your business analysts can manage the forms instead of pricey designers and software engineers!
