Analytics
Overview
Organizations rely on data analytics and business intelligence to promote confident decision making and help drive operational efficiencies. As more teams begin to produce and consume larger quantities of data, the return on investment in an analytics program grows exponentially. However, it can be difficult for organizations to navigate the crowded analytics market, refocus existing IT resources, and maintain an analytics program long term. LGI simplifies the process by working with teams to build and maintain a powerful analytics program so they can focus on improving their organization through new insights. We help organizations promote a data-driven culture through cross-cutting capabilities that offer insights that would have otherwise been overlooked.
LGI differentiates itself by placing a heavy focus on an organization’s mission during the entire process. Particularly during data discovery and requirements gathering, it is crucial that we include the right resources (both human and data) to make sure the right questions get answered. We apply our tailored analytics framework to establish the necessary data governance, processes, tools, training, and security to ensure that the resulting analytics capability meets and supports an organization’s strategic objectives.
Capabilities
Data Strategy & Governance
LGI helps leaders in organizations apply effective data governance strategies to make the most out of their data, which is quickly becoming one of an organization’s most valuable assets. We lead data-driven transformation efforts by developing customized solutions that enable better decision making and improved functional performance. Backed by our proven data governance and management approaches that anticipate and avoid common pitfalls, we promote the use of consistent and approved practices when handling data, operating analytical tools, and enabling access to information across an organization. Our data strategy and governance capabilities ensure that organizations realize the full value and benefit of data analytics and business intelligence.
Data Modeling & Process Standardization
Not every organization starts with perfect data, and improving data inputs yields more reliable insights. LGI implements hands-on data discovery efforts in order to align organizational data sources and identifies process improvement opportunities to better track and store business data. Providing teams with the right tools and streamlined processes, along with a conceptual model of their data, adds to the value of an analytics capability by ensuring that all collected data supports the organization’s mission.
Data Infrastructure Support
LGI helps organizations integrate disparate data sources over a wide range of platforms to enable cross-functional transformations. Whether your organization decides to keep data on-premise or move to a cloud-hosted environment, our tailored solutions aim to provide cost-effective, secure, and seamless deployments. Our team of experts offers a breadth of services related to infrastructure development and support to ensure the security and availability of data in your organization, as well as to position your organization for future growth.
Data Visualization
Our team plays an instrumental role in transforming your organization’s data into compelling visualizations that drive action and support strategic decisions. While data visualization is the most commonly recognized component of a data analytics capability, it would not be possible without integrated governance policies, process standardization, and optimized infrastructure. LGI provides custom data visualization support by leveraging best-in-class technologies based on your organization’s specific needs. By making information more consumable and readily available through visualization, teams can focus on actionable insights rather than interpreting their data.
Performance Management
LGI assists government leaders with performance management functions by implementing tools and capabilities to effectively identify, collect, analyze, and present information on stakeholder needs, progress, and impact of services to better inform decision making. We define key metrics that enable our clients to effectively measure and articulate the value of their programs, maximize the impact of their investments, and enable continuous process improvement. Our support also ensures that these performance measures and insightful analyses are accessible on-demand, enabling our clients to better understand potential obstacles early and so they have more time to mitigate risk.
