What research and data consulting s.r.o. does

Research and Data Consulting s.r.o. (trading as RDCO) is a privately held Czech research and data consulting firm founded in 2004 and headquartered at Horní lán 1231/37, Olomouc, Czech Republic. The company delivers research data collection, statistical analysis, and academic consulting to university students at Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD levels, alongside academics, corporate organisations, government agencies, municipalities, and schools. Its portfolio spans 11 packaged service lines — student questionnaires, academic research instruments, training delivery, workshops, educational programme development, project proposal writing, programme evaluation, thesis typesetting with bibliographic citation handling, web design and hosting, and Linux-based IT server management — all delivered on a customised, per-project or per-unit basis with prices denominated in both CZK and EUR.

Underpinning the offering is a proprietary Online Statistical Analysis Software running on Linux server infrastructure, organised into three modules: advanced statistical data analysis, export to standard statistical software packages, and calculation of statistical dependencies. The company does not disclose headcount, ownership structure, revenue, or external capital; it operates as a Czech s.r.o. (private limited company) with no subsidiaries, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no disclosed partnerships.

RDCO runs a sales-led go-to-market motion through direct website contact forms on a bilingual Czech/English website (rdco.cz), with no intermediary channels, resellers, or marketplace presence. Revenue is generated almost entirely through transactional, low-ticket engagements (per questionnaire, per hour, per project, or monthly retainer for server administration and hosting), with no named enterprise anchors or disclosed customer logos. The combination of single-office operations, low unit prices, absence of capital signals, and 20 years of organic operation without visible scaling is consistent with a micro-enterprise operating in a specialised Central European academic and SME niche.

Regional players

• STEM/MARK: STEM/MARK is a Czech market and social research agency based in Prague offering questionnaire design, statistical analysis, and data collection services to corporate, public-sector, and academic clients. It is directly comparable as a fellow Czech provider of research and data consulting services, though it operates at a larger scale with broader corporate reach than RDCO.
• MEDIAN: MEDIAN is a Central European market and public opinion research firm with operations in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is comparable to RDCO because it delivers custom questionnaire-based research, statistical analysis, and social/policy research to academic, government, and corporate clients in the same regional footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Ipsos: Ipsos is a global market research and analytics firm with operations in the Czech Republic. It is comparable because it delivers survey-based research, statistical analysis, and social research services to corporate, government, and academic clients, but at far greater scale and across more geographies than RDCO.
• NielsenIQ: NielsenIQ (formed via the GfK merger) is a global consumer and market research company with a Czech presence. It is comparable to RDCO in offering market research, survey design, and data analysis services to enterprise and public-sector clients, but it competes as a broad incumbent rather than a niche Czech provider.
• Kantar: Kantar is a global data, research, and consulting firm with Czech operations. It is comparable because it provides market research, survey-based insight, and statistical analysis to brands, governments, and institutions — directly overlapping with RDCO's research and data consulting core, but at vastly greater scale.
• IBM SPSS Statistics: IBM SPSS Statistics is an enterprise statistical analysis software suite widely used in academic and social science research. It is comparable to RDCO because it directly competes with the firm's custom statistical analysis platform, though SPSS serves the same end customers (researchers and academics) as a packaged software product rather than a service.
• SAS Institute: SAS is a global analytics and statistical software company with deep use in academic and social research. It is comparable to RDCO because its statistical software directly substitutes for the custom-built analytical platform the firm has developed, posing both a competitive threat and a reference point for productization.

Emerging players

• Qualtrics: Qualtrics is a leading experience management and survey research platform used heavily in academic and market research. It is comparable to RDCO because it serves the same questionnaire-design, data-collection, and analysis use cases for academic and corporate researchers, and competes with the firm's custom platform via a polished self-serve SaaS product.
• SurveyMonkey: SurveyMonkey is a widely used online survey and data collection platform. It is comparable to RDCO because it underpins academic questionnaire work and basic statistical analysis at the lower end of the market — the same segment where RDCO's Student Package competes — and could commoditize portions of RDCO's offering.

Others

• GESIS: GESIS is the Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences in Germany, providing research data infrastructure, survey methodology consulting, and statistical training to the academic community. It is comparable to RDCO as an academic-facing social science research support provider, but operates as a publicly funded infrastructure provider rather than a commercial consultancy.
