New Automated Phone Polling System Revolutionizes Public Opinion Polling

Tulsa, OK, October 15, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Public opinion polling is no longer reserved for huge corporations and massive campaigns with unlimited funding. With Pollster, a new automated phone polling system, organizations both large and small can get the most out of public opinion polling.

More than 15 years of development have gone in to creating Pollster's revolutionary polling system and making it affordable, usable, efficient and effective for organizations of all types.

"Traditional public opinion polling is so time-consuming and expensive that most people can't use it," said Don Guy, president of Orion Systems, the creators of Pollster. "With Pollster, it's fast, it's easy, and it's fraction of the cost of using a call center."

The Pollster unit integrates the polling software and a phone board into a desktop computer with microphone and speakers. Users can plug in their phone lines, record their poll or survey, and set Pollster in motion.

"This system is literally plug and poll," said Guy. "You can run the entire operation from the Pollster desktop computer. All you need is a spare phone line, and you're good to go. We've worked to make this as easy as possible for people to use so that everyone can get the most out of the system."

Pollster's simplicity and affordability opens public opinion polling to small businesses, city-level politicians, universities, newspapers, television stations, and anyone with a vested interest in what their community is thinking. With a visual user interface and plug-and-play system, Pollster aims to revolutionize public opinion polling.

"This by far surpasses traditional polling methods for four major reasons: speed, accuracy, demographic coverage, and labor," said Guy. "You aren't paying outrageous expenses to have 500 people called over the course of a week. With this, you can call 500 people in a day."

Pollster users can upload their own database of numbers, or poll nationwide from Pollster's database of 90 million numbers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Polls can be targeted by state, county, area code, zip code, or randomized.

"You get the results in real time, so you can sit there and watch them, update them on a website or news broadcast, whatever you want," said Guy. "You can set a poll to start in the morning and it'll be done in the evening when you walk out the door."

Pollster offers advanced features like branching, which changes question lines based on given responses. Pollster also allows organizations to segment their contact databases into action groups with polls, helping them identify potential volunteers, donors, or buyers.

"For example, a politician might run a poll and one of your questions was 'Would you be interested in volunteering for the Smith campaign?' Pollster would separate out the numbers of the people who answered yes," said Guy. "That way, after the survey, you have a list of names, numbers and addresses of people who are interested in taking the next step."
