Eureka Facts News

EurekaFacts was featured on the July 23, 2010 Maryland Gazette of Business and Politics with a focus on its rapid growth. The article quotes EurekaFacts CEO Jorge Restrepo.  Speaking about business outlook in a tough economy, Jorge Restrepo says “When the economy is tough, people re-evaluate what they buy, from whom the buy and look for ways to get more value for their dollar. If the economy lost 6 percent of its dollars, the other 94 percent is still there. There may be a lot of depressing news, but if you focus on the positive and search for the market opportunities, they are out there. It is a matter of finding out what is important to your customer and how to deliver maximum value.” See the article at http://www.gazette.net/stories/07232010/businew175337_32540.php

In fulfillment of a contract with the US Army Medical Command, EurekaFacts conducted a redesign of a command-wide survey that examines organizational climate.  Working closely with leadership and examining best practices and new developments, the new model was further developed using advanced analytical techniques, and direct input from a wide range of civilian and military personnel. It is optimized to equip command leadership with information that helps manage and improve organizational climate on a system-wide basis as well as at various levels of the organization. On 06-Jul-2010, LTG Eric B. Schoomaker, U.S. Army Surgeon General commented very positively on the outcome.

After conducting initial research for the US Navy Supply Corps to examine its brand identity, EurekaFacts was tasked to create and test a new branding platform that brings together the civilians, enlisted personnel and officers engaged in supply functions throughout the Navy.  EurekaFacts has partnered with Rock Creek Strategic Marketing, a DC-Based branding firm, in this effort. The effort comes at an important juncture for the Navy Supply Corps, as the Navy has designated this as the Year of Supply. The Navy Supply was established in 1785 and supports a wide range of functions from quality of life for sailors and their families to procurement and logistic support. EurekaFacts is proud to support our armed forces through our efforts and expertise. For more information on this project please contact Cesar Garzon at garzonc@eurekafacts.com

The State of Maryland values the involvement of minority-owned business in government contracting. For this reason the Maryland Minority Business Enterprise program ensures that outstanding MBE’s have the opportunity to participate in contracting opportunities.

Thanks to programs like this and Eureka Facts’ exceptional track record, EurekaFacts has been selected to team with Jacobs Engineering Group Inc, one of the state’s largest engineering firms, to provide support to the state of Maryland through two major contracts.

One includes conducting market research and analysis as part of the Maryland Transportation Authority’s Traffic and Revenue Forecast Services Program while the other will support Jacobs Engineering’s work on its on-going contract with the Maryland Transit Administration for Policy, Business and Transit Management Services. Both projects will be instrumental in supporting the State of Maryland’s transportation strategic planning efforts. 

Eureka Facts welcomes these two new contracting opportunities. As a Minority Business Enterprise and a participant in the US SBA 8(a) program, Eureka Facts is proud to provide ongoing support for the market research services required under these contracts.

There is mounting evidence of shortages of adequate number of physicians in many highly specialized medical fields. To better understand the interests, challenges and career-related intentions of young physicians practicing within a highly specialized medical field, Eureka facts recently completed a study for a major national medical association. 

Through a series of In-depth interviews and online surveys with four key audiences segments, including fellows, foreign medical graduates, women, and young practitioners, Eureka Facts provided the association with an in-depth profile of the practice patterns of their youngest membership segment. The study examined issues such as their intentions to stay in the field, expectations regarding compensation and how work-life issues impact young practitioners’ current and future career-related decisions. 

Insights on these and other key professional characteristics shared by physicians starting their careers in this highly specialized field provided the association with actionable insights on how to better serve this member group’s current and future professional needs.
