Infogroup’s ORC Adds Free Five-Star Rating to Its Comprehensive CityMARKS™ Research Solution

ORC, an Infogroup company (NASDAQ: IUSA), today announced the introduction of its new five-star rating system as an enhancement to its already successful CityMARKS™ suite of services. Recognizing the difficulties facing cities today as they struggle to allocate increasingly scarce resources most effectively, ORC is offering cities the use of its basic model for free.

Based on citizens’ responses to five carefully constructed questions, ORC’s new rating system allows local government leaders to quickly and easily gain an understanding of how their city or town measures up on five powerful measures that we know provide a clear understanding of how well a city is meeting its citizens’ expectations in terms of quality of life, quality of city services, the perceived value of service for tax dollars paid and citizen perceptions about the direction in which their town is headed.

"What makes our five-star rating unique is that it not only measures local government’s performance on key metrics of most importance to citizens, it also offers diagnostic capabilities to help public leadership easily identify and focus on issues that matter most,” said Rebecca Elmore-Yalch, Senior Vice President at ORC and developer of ORC’s CityMARKS™ research program. "Through this effort, ORC will also be developing a robust national database that will allow participating cities to see how they stand up on these "power” questions as well as other measures of quality.”

Results from ORC’s rating system and other CityMARKS™ services yield clear insight into the direction a city should take to improve performance and meet the needs and expectations of its citizenry. "Our five-star rating system represents a highly accessible, indispensable tool for municipal government leaders to easily obtain critical insight into the perspectives of their constituents,” added Yalch. "Additional services included in ORC’s CityMARKS™ suite of services provide a full array of survey research, diagnostic, and action planning services.”
