Our Story and Growth in Specialized Research

The Research Investment was present in the earliest days of commercial research databases. We supported engineers, scientists, researchers, corporations, and government agencies as full text access first became possible. This work helped shape the modern document delivery industry.

As our reputation grew, clients turned to TRI for materials that were difficult to locate or required global coordination. That work naturally expanded into specialized research, business and market research, including industry analysis, background research, and non patent prior art searches.

Today, our research and document delivery services work together to provide dependable and ethical support for complex research needs.
