CualSoft is a group of consultants specialized on qualitative data analysis and the computer tools that aid it.
We conduct conferences and seminars on ATLAS.ti or MAXqda and the way of implement these tools on qualitative research.
These conferences are organized five times a year in Madrid in a productive and intensive working environment, where you can join and share your research issues and find answers in a participative and practical way.
The workshops are not only a software workshop, where the program is presented to the participants, we aim to introduce them in the qualitative data analysis helped by the software, and give a bunch of solutions to conduct both the textual and conceptual parts of the analysis.
We perform conferences and workshops in Spanish universities, invited by research groups and departments to teach their researchers on these software tools.
The seminars are structured on three levels:
Basic level. A soft introduction to the computer program where you find ideas since qualitative research design, theoretical approach, sample design, building of the instrument, transcription issues and data handling, ending with the project ready to start at the computer program.
Introductory level. This seminar allows the participant to set up a project with the software and perform the main textual tasks of the analysis, as data preparation, segmentation of important fragments and coding. Depending on the group we can start introducing conceptual maps, hypertexts or recovery.
Advanced level. This workshop is targeted to participants of previous seminars. This workshop is centered on advanced features of the programs. The participant is able to end the analysis, recovering the segments that answer his/her research questions, and presenting these conclusions in a narrative, networking or matrix way. This seminar also presents team working strategies or quality control.
In CualSoft we also perform research; we join formal research teams to contribute with our experience on qualitative data analysis and the computer tools that help to perform it productively.
We also join formal research teams when they want and independent qualitative analysis to compare with their analysis. Maybe they have done a quantitative approach and want to triangulate with qualitative approach, or maybe they have done a deductive analysis and wish to have a look at an inductive analysis to compare both.
CualSoft is not a company we are an adhocratic group of professionals that join on each task, perform it, and disjoin after the task.
CualSoft is lead by Antoni Casasempere senior sociologist experienced on qualitative data analysis methods, computer tools, and development of resilience on immigrant children. Casasempere coordinates all the professionals, members of CualSoft Team, and, is the main responsible of all the activities, tasks and the philosophy of the Group.
CualSoft has a proactive philosophy, we aim to offer always the better solution to our clients and help them to perform their tasks in an ethical environment, far away from standard commercial philosophy.
CualSoft is the final goal of our efforts; we invest the most of our benefits on our project. We started eleven years ago with a big curiosity about the qualitative research analysis and we have grown digging into the deepness of analysis.
