Strategic Plan Review

ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS

Data Management Update

Data, in many respects, is the lifeblood of the EAA’s mission. The integrity of how we manage our technology resources is critical to the continued legacy and mission of the EAA. As we continue to transition our data storage and file sharing capabilities to a more state-of-the-art methodology based on a systematic, protected and accessible approach, we must reconcile all our data and make sure it is managed and securely moved and housed in the appropriate servers and locations ( slide 5 ). While we have successfully stored data for many years, the effective access to that data has often been a challenge. Now, with the advancements in expanded storage, accessibility, and file-sharing capabilities, we are using this momentum to enhance and expand our data management platforms and begin to migrate toward a data warehousing configuration that will enhance our data sharing and storage capabilities. This will allow us to store and share the millions upon millions of data points that enter our organization-wide network daily, but it is an ongoing process that will take a couple of years to fully implement.
