Sifting through Records to Find Meaning
Everyone has data that can be put to work for them. Soemtimes millions of records are available - until this is properly reduced, organized, and managed, finding anything useful can be more frustrating than finding a needle in a haystack. From first look analysis and organization to more advanced trend analysis, I can take your wealth of information and make it useful. Perhaps you have years of spreadsheet tracking that would be better served by a database, or maybe even written records yearning for a digital home. Either way, chances are that this data can be put to more use than it currently is.
From geocoding addresses for marketing purposes to organizing backlogs of billing data, everyone needs a bit of structure to keep their data in line, accessible, and ready for thorough analysis. Excel, Access, R and more can be used to distill records into a more meaningful format. Something as simple as a pivot table can bring new dimensions to datasets that have been previously neglected. Time series data can beused to project future growth scenarios or to find trends in past events. If the data has geographic relevance, backend data analysis can be combined with a GIS presentation to put numbers on the map and make these patterns easier to understand.
