In 2004, Open Data Partners provided strategic consulting services,
outsourced data services, and technical due dilligence services to
support its clients’ strategic use of data. Here are a
few of the highlights.
Analytic Services and Analytic Deployment Architectures.
Open Data Partners developed procedures for i) efficiently
establishing baseline behavior for high throughput global systems and
ii) measuring deviations from the baselines so that appropriate
actions could be taken. Open Data also developed a standards based
architecture so that deviations from baselines could be measured in
real time.
Analytic services. Open Data Partners developed a
statistical model so that a large processor of financial transactions
could maintain and improve the quality of a complex rules-based
system.
Analytic services. Open Data Partners developed a
confidence score to accompany a custom credit score. Using the
confidence score should simplify the company’s deployment of the
credit scores.
Data architectural services. Open Data Partners led the
development of a reference model that is used as a foundation
for a data quality program by a large financial transaction
processor.
Consulting services. Open Data provided an analysis of a
proposed project in health care whose goal was to detect fraud by
combining rules based and statistical based modeling.
Technical due dilligence and consulting services. Robert
Grossman and Eric Sumner of Open Data are members of an advisory group
that is assisting the U.S. Army develop systems for real time, event
driven analytics.
Technical due dilligence – complex IT systems. Robert
Grossman was one of the external reviewers for a report prepared by
the US National Academy of Sciences and reviewing the FBI’s Trilogy
Information Technology Modernization Program. The report is a review
of the FBI’s $600 million effort to develop a modern information
technology system called the Trilogy program whose goal is to enhance
the ability of FBI agents to organize, access, and analyze
information. The report can be found on-line in
