Simply having the data is important, but data management is paramount to program success

Once data is collected, the next step is to begin to understand the story your data is telling you. A robust data management system allows you to unlock the value of your data. You are able to reliably access and govern your data, but also to securely store and prepare data for analysis. Our partners look to us to understand their data needs, design and architect scalable information management systems, and provide hosting support to those who leverage a managed cloud-based installation. Our solutions range from small, single projects to multi-country or enterprise systems.

Successfully managing and governing data is a key to measuring outcome and impact

Database design and management

Now that you have identified the data you will collect, you must determine how the data will be stored and how the individual elements will interrelate.  To make these decisions, you have to clearly define the purpose of your database, or “why am I storing and managing this data?” Determine the outcome you desire from your data and then begin to design your database. To leverage the power of a well designed data structure, members of the BAO Systems implementation team will partner with you to classify your data and identify hierarchies and interrelationships. Once the data relationships and dependencies have been established, the data will be arranged into a logical structure that can then be leveraged to gain insights and interoperate with other systems.

Use case: DHIS2 as centralized data management platform

BAO Systems supported Pact to configure and develop its global, centralized DHIS2 instance that houses all country/project data and metadata. Global indicators are centrally reported from 44 countries. Countries with established, locally managed DHIS2 instances automatically feed data into the central instance via BAO Systems’ Integration Driver.

Implementation of a centralized data warehouse together with automated data exchange has improved standardized reporting of key organizational performance indicators, staff and resource efficiencies, and focus on using data for decision making.

Unlock the value of data through effective management

A robust data management system not only allows our partners to reliably access and govern their data but also to securely store and prepare data for analysis. Our solutions range from small, single projects to multi-country or enterprise systems. We work with our partners to understand their data needs, design and architect scalable information management systems, and provide hosting support to those who see the time and cost benefits of leveraging a managed cloud-based installation.
