To make the right actions, you must be able to both see the big picture, and dive down deeper. Our dashboard solutions don’t hide the details, but let you dive as deep as you want, slicing and dicing your data however you want to see it. -
Take Action on the System
There is never just “data”. Data describes aspects of a system, and without understanding that system, and its processes, you can’t take effective action. -
Connecting the Dots…
You have data everywhere, but without it being connected, you have inefficiency at best, and blindness at the worst. -
Data Data Everywhere… But not a Thought to Think.
Action must be made on knowledge. Data informs that knowledge, but even “big data” can be skewed or incomplete, leading to bad decisions.
Improve Your Data Systems
The first step to successful data action, is to have the right data accessible in the right way.
But, it is nearly inevitable that your data system isn’t quite as good as it could be. In some cases, it is just worthwhile to live with some of the annoyances that a pre-existing data system has. But often making an improvement to the data system can make tangible improvements to your overall operations.

You need to be able to see your data and understand it before you have true knowledge. Through the use of rapid development tools, including Power BI, PowerPivot, PowerQuery, and Azure Machine Learning, data can be quickly summarized and visualized. Further, because all these technologies can tie easily into Microsoft Excel, you can easily dive deeper into your data through an interface you already have familiarity with.

You can customize your interaction with your customers and stakeholders, so that the right message gets to the right person in the right way. And you can make strategic decisions that have put the odds in your favor. And, by using anomaly detection and other machine learning methods, you can catch problems before they happen, and intervene with a solution. So through this and more, data can be used to optimize systems, whether it be optimizing revenue or doing the most good for the world.

Our school recently switched the SIS we use to PowerSchool. As my employment began around the time of the transition, a large part of my role has been SIS administration and report generation, alongside Jacob. Prior to that, Jacob was successful in transferring all our data from the old SIS to PowerSchool. PowerSchool is famous for its customizability and due to Jacob’s work in the back end, we currently have a far improved product from the one we purchased just 9 months ago.
