EDUCATION CUSTOM APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT

With the recent innovations in artificial intelligence, our clients are starting to find ways to improve their data analytics - gaining wisdom from their data that was previously inaccessible.

Building a custom app allows our clients to not only clean up their data (both from a collection and a storage standpoint), but also collect more volume and more varied data sets than before. Once our clients have a clean set of data to work with, we are able to help our clients think through what types of insights they want/need to gather in order to grow most efficiently.  From that conversation, we help our clients build custom reports and apply artificial intelligence tools where appropriate.

This transition from information to insights to intelligence requires a blend of experts in design, development and data analytics. You first have to design an app that users want to use - usage of your application means accurate, consistent and streamlined data collection. Second, thinking through how you will collect, store and analyze your data so it’s efficient and meaningful requires thoughtful architecture and database design. Finally, combining all data sources with an eye toward what kind of business decisions need to be made helps to ensure reporting actually supports decisions rather than just piling on more information.

Understanding the difference between information and intelligence is the key element to successful design, as well as realizing that technology exists to serve the business (not the other way around).
