PDI, Inc. (Nasdaq:PDII - News), a leading provider of integrated promotional outsource services to health care companies, today announced the expansion of its business with the acquisition of Group DCA, a privately held interactive digital communications agency serving biopharmaceutical companies.

Group DCA, based in Parsippany, NJ, was founded in 1999 as a privately owned digital communications agency by pharmaceutical industry veterans Jack Davis and Robert Likoff in order to provide more effective ways to engage health care providers. Group DCA and its business units leverage the strengths of the Internet, multimedia, tablet PCs, dimensional direct mail, and its proprietary software called DIAGRAM™ (DIAlog, GRAphics, Motion). Through these elements, Group DCA is able to deliver breakthrough solutions via interactive communications exchanges that conveniently accommodate the busy schedules of health care providers. Group DCA's programs also yield meaningful response data that allow clients to better understand the needs and opinions of their audiences, and, in turn, to market to them more effectively.
