DataDiagnostic is a detailed assessment of your current data management practices and systems. Based on our findings, we will provide you with a clearly-defined data management strategy which outlines key areas for improvement, an alternatives analysis, recommended next steps, and estimated costs. A typical engagement also includes a working prototype of the recommended solution.
Evaluates your existing data management practices and systems to eliminate issues
Ensures you achieve maximum value from your data management practices and systems
Builds an optional prototype of your system based on analysis findings

On April 23rd, Matt and I drove up to Olympia to help the Puget Sound Partnership (PSP) conduct a partner training for the two key areas of their new Puget Sound Info platform. PSP works with over 750 partners – including government agencies, tribes, scientists, businesses, and non-profits – that contribute to the Puget Sound recovery effort. This training was an opportunity to share the new application with users and give partners the tools they need to update their data in the system prior to the public launch later this summer.
While this year’s Salmon Recovery Conference’s theme was Facing the Future Together, the conference spent significant time reflecting on both past successes and trials experienced since the state passage of the Salmon Recovery Act in 1999. Former Washington State Governor Gary Locke (1997-2005) kicked off this spirit of reflection with his keynote, “Salmon Recovery: Twenty Years in the Making.”
In January, we headed Down Under to kick off a DataDiagnostic to identify areas for improvement, alternatives, and recommendations for an improved data management strategy.
