    DATA ANALYTICS & DATA MANAGEMENT

    We apply descriptive, diagnostic, prescriptive, and predictive analytics and then present analytical results using compelling data visualizations to help our government stakeholders understand the importance of the trends and insights that emerge. Some examples of our data management and analytics support to our federal clients include:

    • Department of Defense (DOD) – Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) – Assist with planning, executing, monitoring, and providing support to DLA’s finance and accounting systems and data environment and provide recommendations on managing data populations; extracting and staging data populations for analysis and reporting; and assisting in the identifications of risks, process improvements, lessons learned, and other ad-hoc support to data management activities.
      • Developed data loads and new data visualizations to establish a central, enterprise reporting portal to present key performance indicators to support business operations and manage cash position goals that help executive-level reporting and enable drill-down capabilities to help identify the root cause of performance issues.
      • Assisted in the delivery of Robotic Process Automations (RPA) to support financial reporting processes, enabling the elimination of manual, time-intensive tasks and repurposing their internal subject matter professionals to higher value activities. Automation facilitated the validation of a high volume of financial records with an increased accuracy rate compared to their human counterparts and resulted in DLA saving thousands man hours.
