Our Mission

InstaData’s mission is to empower civic leaders to make data driven decisions on their operational and policy-related goals by harnessing the data they already own through 21st Century data analytics technology.

PROBLEM:

Government agencies have a difficult time aggregating and disaggregating the information stored in their various databases, often preventing them from identifying the most effective and efficient solution to their problems.

Agencies hire consultants that use a manual data analysis process full of errors and only macro solutions instead of targeted micro solutions.

CURRENT DATA ANALYTICS PROCESS:

Agencies purchase various customer resource management (CRM) systems that do not communicate with each other and do not automatically synthesize information into a central location from siloed individual systems.

If an employee wants to understand a problem, they have to manually pull a spreadsheet from each individual source database, then aggregate and disaggregate the information after synthesizing it into a larger spreadsheet, and finally making tables, charts and maps to formulate a theoretical solution to their original problem.

Often times, government departments do not have the staffing resources, time or funds to do this, so they outsource this manual data analytics process to a consultant that overcharges them and takes months instead of minutes to produce the insights and strategies they want to implement. This manual data integration process also does not clean up the poor quality data it ingests and thus results in inaccurate solutions.

SOLUTION:

InstaData provides a one-stop shop central data hub that synthesizes and integrates information from multiple external data systems (CRMs, legacy systems, open source data sets, etc) and enables universal search and data visualization into tables, charts and maps with real-time data that automatically updates as the source systems ingest new data.

We save a government agency thousands of dollars and weeks if not months from having to hire a consultant, and we provide data insights that get to the root of the problems they are trying to solve.

The ending result is faster data analytics, more efficient operations, and better public policy.
