Analyze
we focus on three overall capabilities
Data: networked, unbounded, standards-based, community driven, open data.
Visualization: We need ways to get through this data. What do I have? What is the shape and
idea of it? How is it changing? What can I do with it?
Analysis: In the end, I want to make decisions. To do that, I need to ask questions. I need
tools to help me easily ask questions and find answers without having to worry about the
“how” of the question asking. Just let me explore.
3. Conversations
When I think that I have a decision, I need to seek consensus. I need to convince others I’m
right, or find out if they have a better idea.
5. Citizens
Enterprise Organizations
Developers Media
Research
Across each of these organizations and communities they are able to quickly and effectively
leverage public data with their enterprise data in order to reach smarter decisions more
quickly. They are made more effective by actively collaborating with organizations in other
industries and focus.
