 - the gathering of information questionnaires that are filled out by the main companies on an annual basis;
 - the checking of the gathered information by a sector expert, using a verification system that guarantees maximum reliability and consistency;
 - the processing of information belonging to the Cerved Group about Italian economic realities.
