Automate Data Preparation and Blending

Data preparation is the hidden black hole for analysts’ time. This task often requires days of running reports, downloading data, cutting and pasting into spreadsheets, fixing pivot tables and look-ups etc. We often see this work being completed by highly skilled people, who should be performing higher value work. Even worse, they often complete this task multiple times per year or quarter.

InkSpace uses modern data manipulation tools to automate these processes. While every situation is different, the tools we use combined with our expertise can automate your data prep and blend faster then you might think, saving your team hours, and freeing them up to analyze your business instead.

 Dashboard creation

Creating an effective, dashboard is about much more than selecting a few charts and putting them on a page. To produce positive outcomes, a dashboard must quickly illustrate a business process or outcome. The InkSpace approach delivers dashboard components in an iterative, agile fashion, allowing you to get a feel for each new component, evaluate its real effectiveness and make improvements along the way.

To deliver on this promise, InkSpace will first work closely with the users of your dashboard. We use structured collaboration to put ourselves in their shoes, and gain understanding of their goals. Then, we build an understanding of your data assets. With these two aspects in mind (the business and the technical), we begin creating visualizations.

Don’t expect to wait a long time for a single, large deliverable. Instead, we take an agile approach, providing you with a view into progress through intermediate demonstrations of work as it progresses. We will deliver each component as we complete it. This gives you the opportunity to inspect our work, and make improvements during the project.
