Achieve the Maximum Benefit From Minimal Data Entry

One of the common myths of software, and perhaps business in general, is that you need a lot of data to make good systems and useful measurements. Small amounts of upfront data collection can have tremendous operational leverage when combined with the right tools and process. OA has worked with powerful assessment instruments developed over many years, with predictive power and validity that require in some cases less than 25 pieces of data. Our philosophy is that data collection adds no value in and of itself. It is effectively a cost for the user.

However, even a small amount of data collected specifically for the insight it delivers, analyzed by a rule engine, packaged in a notification to a key user, or fed to analytical reporting tools, can create significant leverage beyond the time it took to collect it. These are the types of applications that we target, where a small amount of data, when combined with software tools, provides an oversized return relative to the entry cost.

Perhaps the most common story we hear from users of large software systems, especially in the health care and government worlds, is that they enter a lot of data, change the way they operate to accommodate the system, yet they get little analytic data or reporting support for these efforts. One of our primary objectives is for this type of statement to never be made about any of our systems. We focus on keeping our system lean on the front end - advising our customers to collect only the data they believe will provide leverage in the campaign at hand, and empower them through notification, reporting and rule based operational decision advice.
