Data Services

We realize that there are times, especially for small businesses, that employees simply cannot be spared for certain information management tasks.  C3 offers a number of data services that we can perform off-site significantly cheaper and more quickly than if done by others.  Examples are below, but if your needs are unique, just give us a call and we'll see how we can help needs.

Document Proofreading: We have experienced proofreaders with experience as authors and journalists that are available for any type of proofreading, from books and magazine articles, to newspapers, and even academic manuscripts.  Our prices are simple, just $0.01 per word (as measured by Microsoft Word), with a $25 minimum per customer.  Multiple documents can be combined into a single proofing job to keep your expenses down.  All documents for proofing must be sent to us via email attachment and turnaround can be very short, often within 24 hours of payment.

Transcription: We also have several professional transcribers with experience transcribing both hand-written and recorded-voice material into computerized formats.  We can work from nearly any medium, as long as it is readable/understandable.  We will gladly transcribe whatever you have, but for legal reasons prefer not to perform medical transcription (but we can refer you to a source if you need).  Legal transcription and manuscript preparation are our specialties and we can even prepare academic journal quality manuscripts in nearly any style format you require (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).  All jobs are priced based on the amount of time it takes us to do the work, but generally works out to $30 per hour.  Simple typing jobs, however, are priced at $10 plus $0.01 per word (as measured by Microsoft Word).  Turnaround time varies but is generally very quick for jobs less than 100 pages.

Data Entry: We can perform data entry tasks off-site provided we have some form of system to key the data into.  Ideally, a web-based form would be used (we can set up a data entry page with our survey management tool if needed), or data would be keyed into a standard template in Word or Excel.  However, if you have a proprietary format that requires us to place someone at your site to do the work, we have someone that can do that as well.  Our fee is $10 per hour for off-site work, $15 for on-site work.  There is an eight-hour minimum on all jobs.

Logo Design: We have done some logo design work for other companies, and are willing to work with you to come up with a logo for your business if needed.  This is more than just simply creating a single graphic image for your company.  Rather, we can come up with a set of logos for you to choose from then, once you choose the right logo for your company, we can create a set of images for use on websites, business cards, company letterhead and forms, company apparel, and more.  These images will be in a multitude of standard pixel sizes (i.e. 16x16 icons, 100x100 web images, 800x50 web banners, etc.), and in a variety of electronic formats (i.e. gif, jpg, bmp, png for web sites and most work, vector files for embroidery machines, etc.).  All finished product would be original and yours to keep.  We can email the end result back to you or send it via CD or DVD.  Please note that the most time consuming part of this type of activity is generating the original logo design so any advance work you can do would significantly lower the price.  Ideally, to keep your prices down, you would email us a sketch or photo of what you want to do as a starting point.  The different graphics files can be quickly generated to suite your unique needs.  All logo design work bills at $50 per on-site hour and $30 per off-site hour, $100 minimum total.

Statistical Analysis: We offer a full range of data analysis techniques using SPSS, Minitab, Excel, and more.  We have experienced university faculty members that are experts in almost every form of data analysis, both parametric and non-parametric.  We perform all diagnostics, verify assumptions where appropriate, test hypotheses (where stated), and can even optimize models.  From the simple Z and t tests to summaries, linear equation modeling, regression, ancova, mancova, and more. (seriously, more than we can name here for sure).  We also have experience with structured equation modeling and other more uncommon relational techniques.  Analysis reports would be delivered in a number of different output formats, but most often in Excel and Word so that the results could be imported into other documents.  If necessary, we can also assist early in your research process to minimize your losses due to improperly designed experiments.  Analysis priced at $50 per hour, 2 hour minimum.  Research planning assistance available at our normal on-site consulting rates.  Whatever your need, just call.
