Think of Data as Flour and Information as Bread
DataMadeUseful turns Data into Information

The most recent recession was a brutal reminder that governments always work under heavy pressure to do more with less.  Constantly increasing expenses for health & human services, public pensions, and education runs directly into citizen and legislative resistance to raising taxes.

One way for government agencies to meet their legal and moral responsibilities, given the financial squeeze, is to make better use of the mountains of data at their disposal.

Among the many uses of the data bounty:

    •  More closely track day-to-day performance through dashboards;
    •  Benchmark the effectiveness of programs against other states;
    •  Find hidden sources of fraud and waste;
    •  Managers can quickly filter and search through large databases for new insights.

Drive Bad Data Out Into the Open

Ever find numbers in a field that should only contain names? Blank rows that shouldn't be blank? Five digit ID's instead of 10 digits?    Drive_Bad_Data_Out-1.jpg

Garbage In - Garbage Out
The old adage is always true, but the larger the dataset, the harder to find the bad data.
