Web Solutions
DRC is a full-service provider of web surveys, including in-house hosting at our facilities of all the technology required to administer and report on these surveys. As an example, for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), DRC constructs and fields up to 12 different web surveys a year (each administered to sample sizes ranging between 5,000 and 750,000 individuals) with exacting requirements in complexity, security, and availability (i.e., global administrations are 24/7). DRC also maintains multiple customer satisfaction web surveys on an ongoing basis for one of our large commercial clients, creating 3,000 to 5,000 tracking reports a week for a central reporting portal. Our proven, reliable, and secure process delivers high-quality, actionable data to our clients.

DRC’s scanning data capture bandwidth is exceptional, involving millions of forms a year. Throughout our many years of operation, we have continuously invested in new, state-of-the-art scanning equipment as it has become available in the marketplace and routinely evaluated our capacity, adding equipment as necessary. This commitment to providing our clients with the latest in scanning capabilities has led to increased production, improved efficiencies, and enhanced accuracy of results.
