“When we needed a research project, we called Decision Associates. They conducted the research and presented it well to our group so that all expectations were met. They were knowledgeable, not only about the research, but they did their homework on EHCA and knew what was needed at the front end. They always followed up, were organized and all of the presentations were very well done with positive results for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Decision Associates and would definitely call them again if needed.”
