Mort Meyerson of Perot Systems says: "The essence of leadership today is to make sure that the organization knows itself."

Active Discovery delivers production quality applications as it iterates through a learning process that discovers and understands a company's business strategies and information needs. Most importantly, Active Discovery provides a methodology that causes an organization to get to know itself - from the data up.

Businesses in search of a better bottom line implement an infrastructure that demonstrates an understanding of their business, data and application requirements. Data In Action specializes in the kind of discovery and data gathering that lays a solid foundation for decision support systems. Best of all, this foundation is proven as it's built. No more waiting for months and months, sometimes even years, for results. Active Discovery delivers results as it learns about your business.

The purpose of Active Discovery is to define business solutions that provide the greatest returns in performance, productivity and dollars to the corporate bottom-line. The approach is to utilize quick turn-around OLAP models (and/or applications) to demonstrate an understanding of, and provide solutions for, business problems that are defined by designated beneficiaries of decision data.

While providing these benefits, the project team learns more and more about data issues, nomenclature conflicts and business rules. Tribal knowledge is documented and reconciled with business processes. The net result of Active Discovery supports organizational learning while providing support to immediate business needs.
