For market research teams

Give occasional SAV users a workflow that fits their job.

Market research organisations often have a few SPSS power users and a larger group who only need to inspect a delivery, verify labels, make a controlled correction or understand the file before configuring another system.

Keep expert tools for expert work

SAV Inspector is not positioned as a complete SPSS replacement. Complex syntax, specialist statistics and established production scripts should remain with the tools and people that already handle them well.

The opportunity is the surrounding work: project managers checking a delivery, data-processing teams reviewing metadata, quality staff documenting issues and account teams answering client questions without occupying a scarce power-user seat.

Local for inspection, Teams for handover

Local provides an immediate no-account viewer on one device. Teams adds the organisational layer when a file must become a shared project artefact with access rules, named versions and review decisions.

  • Open unfamiliar client or supplier files
  • Copy variable and codeframe definitions without retyping
  • Find missing labels and inconsistent missing codes
  • Record a reviewed handover state
  • Keep specialist SPSS workflows available for exceptions

Measure a pilot against the current workflow

A credible pilot starts with one recurring file handover and a baseline: people involved, minutes spent, clarification loops, required SPSS access and common failure modes. The result should be measured on the same workflow, not inferred from feature usage alone.

Practical workflow
  1. Choose one recurring handover

    Use a real SAV workflow with a named owner and a clear before-state.

  2. Inspect locally

    Let occasional users complete the discovery and quality steps without uploading the source.

  3. Test the team state

    Create a project, save a named version and have a second person review it.

  4. Compare outcomes

    Measure time, errors, questions, specialist involvement and willingness to pay for repeat use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is SAV Inspector a full SPSS replacement?

No. It targets inspection, controlled editing and team handover for end users. Power users can keep SPSS for syntax and specialist procedures.

Which roles benefit most?

Project management, data processing, quality assurance and client-facing staff who handle SAV files occasionally rather than perform advanced statistics every day.

Can a pilot use our own file?

Yes, subject to the chosen data path and your policies. Local keeps the file on the device; Teams requires an explicit encrypted upload into the controlled workspace.

How should licence savings be calculated?

Use actual roles, usage and current contract costs. Treat savings as a customer-specific business case, not a generic guarantee.
