“While there are many companies who offer web & tab programming listed in various online resources, if you investigate further, you can see that some are full-service firms who are my direct competitors at times. I like that ATENT-DP is a ‘true’ data processing vendor only.”

“Our internal data processing department uses the same crosstab package as ATENT-DP. For wave studies or for archival purposes, we request the tab programming code and ATENT-DP releases it to us without question and without additional cost. Some other vendors claim that their programming code is proprietary and withhold it.”

“When we have an internal kick-off meeting or need to make our DP ‘staff’ available at a client presentation, ATENT-DP will act as our in-house DP department. It gives us the appearance of a larger firm and instills confidence in our clients that we can handle more work.”

“I like that ATENT-DP shows their weighting formulas in an Excel worksheet for my approval. Other firms blindly apply their software’s automatic weighting module. When weighted tables didn’t pass the sniff test, other vendors couldn’t explain their software algorithms — ATENT-DP can!”

“I thought my only option for drilling-down in the data was to get my tab vendors to provide an SPSS file along with the standard crosstab runs. But ATENT-DP is able to provide a FREE tool for me to run special tables, filters, banners, etc. The tool is easy to use and I can still get ATENT-DP to convert the data into SPSS for me!”

“We’re a small company and I don’t have time to follow a formal process, such as authoring tab plans or providing flowcharts for online surveys. The experienced staff at ATENT-DP can operate without these materials and that saves us HOURS of work and the quality control is outstanding.”

“We’ve had ATENT-DP staff do a ton of data file conversions and manipulations for us. Sometimes our global studies require different vendors to collect the data, each with their own platform. If we need to do region roll-ups or global-level analysis, ATENT-DP will standardize all the different data formats into a single file.”

“Normally our research staff must classify open-ends because the medical terms are too complicated for typical coding agencies or those who try to use offshore labor. ATENT-DP has an in-house coding staff led by a former R.N. and the cost is still lower than other domestic vendors. Our researchers love it because they hate coding!”

“There’s times when clients want to test our online surveys and when we have to give them an URL that obviously isn’t our company domain, they start to question our in-house capabilities. ATENT-DP can load the web surveys on to our server and that helps avoid the whole discussion of subcontracting if we feel it might be a problem.”
