In response to market demand for pay-as-you-go information solutions 

ATLANTA, GA – February 28, 2005 – Cadence Group®, a woman-owned $3.5 million information management and competitive intelligence firm based in Atlanta , announces the launch of cg-research.com, an e-commerce website that provides research on-demand. This website enables individuals, businesses and government agencies to submit research requests and make payments using a credit card on a secure site – without long-term commitments, contractual arrangements or subscription fees.

“More and more companies are responding to the market’s demand for pay-as-you-go, simple-to-procure solutions for their information needs,” said Tina Baker, co-founder, president and CEO of Cadence Group. “Even content providers have begun reacting to this demand by making their content available ‘by the drink’ through websites that support credit card transactions.”

Cadence Group is leading the way for corporations, government agencies and individuals to meet their on-demand needs for research support when they don’t have time to do the research required to make a good business decision, or when they want a quality result without devoting their own resources. Cadence Group’s new cg-research.com website, athttp://www.cg-research.com, answers this market demand by providing on-demand research with a simple credit card transaction.

From answering basic questions to executing complex research projects, Cadence Group’s research professionals are skilled at quickly finding reliable resources on the Internet and compiling concise research results. Individuals may use cg-research.com for preliminary, fact-finding research or to confirm their assumptions. All research requests are handled in a confidential manner and results are typically delivered within one to two business days.

“Because of cutbacks to research departments, corporate libraries, and information centers, the Web is the research source of choice for most of us, but non-productive searches can waste time and money,” said Baker. “There’s an art to searching the Web expertly and efficiently, evaluating the validity of sources and filtering the results into a succinct report. Cadence Group researchers are experienced at doing just that while busy professionals are tending to more critical work.”

Baker says that Cadence Group’s staff of professional researchers has wide-ranging expertise in industries including legal, food & beverage, financial services, international trade, pharmaceutical, public health, technology, telecommunications and IT. General company and industry research, financial reports and market analysis are available as well.

Clients under retainer contracts or custom agreements may use the site to submit their research requests. They sign in with a secure Member ID and use the online Research Request form to submit requests. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uses the Member service for its ad hoc non-clinical requests.

Cadence Group’s clients range from Fortune 500 companies to large government agencies that use its services to acquire, organize and disseminate information to people who need it the most. Many of Atlanta ‘s top employers use Cadence Group’s services. Among the firm’s clients are telecommunications, biomedical, financial and retail companies, airlines, law firms, and federal and state agencies. In addition to information management and research, Cadence Group provides competitive intelligence services, which enable decision makers to quickly respond to new opportunities and threats.

Formed in 1988, Cadence Group is a 60-person company that helps its clients efficiently acquire qualified information, organize it for quick retrieval and disseminate it to a targeted audience. The company is headquartered in Atlanta with a satellite office in Washington, D.C. To try the new on-demand research site, go to http://www.cg-research.com.
