<p style="text-align: center; padding-bottom: 10px;"><strong><span style="color: #3f5410;">Challenge: How do I identify, screen, and tag
large volumes of data to produce actionable information?</span></strong></p>

<ul style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">
	<li style="text-align: left;">Can I identify and connect to all potentially high-payoff data sources - both internal and external?</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Can I review and screen data efficiently, without heavy reliance on expensive tools?</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Can I assess disparate data, recognizing patterns and drawing inferences to build actionable information?</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center; padding-top: 0px;"><strong><span style="color: #3f5410;">Our approach is simple, efficient, and effective, helping
decision makers realize value in "big data" environments.</span></strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: center; margin-top: 0px;">
	<li style="text-align: left;">Act on data inquiries within compressed timelines</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Analyze the "datasphere" for information-driven trends and insights</li>
	<li style="text-align: left;">Reduce labor costs while producing decision quality information</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #3f5410;">As depicted in the graphic below,<br>we employ a staged data mining,<br>aggregation, and assessment approach<br>that integrates our web analytics<br>and related technical skills,<br>with our Six Sigma process assessment expertise.</span></strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Challenge:</strong> Assess multiple internal and external high-volume data sources, to identify key trends and improve decision making around future facilities planning<p>
<strong>Solution:</strong> Our staff led development of a framework for optimizing site selections for future facility consolidations and divestitures. We developed decision support analytics by mining and structuring data spanning multiple categories, including demographic, financial, manpower, and geospatial.
