Aid and development agencies have a difficult task ahead of them. Not only do they have to quite literally seek out problems to solve, but their effort towards improving the overall state of society is the subject of much scrutiny. There are a lot of red tapes to work through and a lot of precedents to establish.
And precedent is what tends to take the most time. Every public initiative was undertaken by a local or foreign aid organization, whether privately or at the government’s behest, leaves behind a lengthy paper trail. When considering a new project in the same domain, an organization will have to research and subsequently follow up on that paper trail. Development agencies are the same, though they may or may not have a fiscal interest along with a socioeconomic one. Both aid and development agencies will require a structured inquiry into past efforts before thinking of executing something. They’ll have to look at everything from project conception, to execution, to evaluation, and they’ll have to do so with every single project in the domain, or at least everything that can be considered recent.
That’s a mountain of information to comb through, and it doesn’t help that it’s housed in many different places. Each organization will maintain its own archive, and reaching that archive to extract the information required is a very laborious step. On the other end of the process, there’ll be a collection of all the facts and strategies explored and discovered, which will be presented to decision-makers before the project can be green-lit. And if it isn’t then, it’s back to the drawing board again, and the whole process needs to be repeated for another potential project.
In many cases, information channels are so clogged or overworked that the researched information or initiative can become outdated by the time it makes it to a decision-maker’s table. The need to automate some aspects of this process is abundantly clear to boost both speed and efficiency.
And that’s exactly what Bird’s Eye View does. It can help automate aspects of information retrieval and the entire task of initial processing. It can retrieve files from known databases and process them within a matter of minutes. We say “processing” here; the software can actually help cut hours of reading down to minutes and minutes down to seconds. By going through the text, our algorithm can detect and retrieve key facts, figures, and other important takeaways, helping make the job of an analyst that much easier.
By reducing volume, Bird’s Eye View actually facilitates a greater depth of research. A lower volume of information to consume means less time spent by the analysts on grunt work, which in turn means that a finished report makes it to an executive’s desk sooner. It also maintains a historical archive and adds to it as it is given more research to consume. The archive itself and the processed versions of documents are available any time for review, which can help with future initiatives.
Bird’s Eye View is your ticket to introducing data-driven analytics to your business’ information retrieval and processing pipeline. Find out more about what Bird’s Eye View can do for you today!
