Introducing EmSSAS!
- EmSSAS is an emergency service driven, cloud based system, that enables a more thorough understanding of agency and public data.
- The EmSSAS system harnesses the power of Tableau, an industry leader in analytic software. EmSSAS is a cooperative system leveraging analytic industry specialists with emergency services background and agency talent to produce timely and meaningful strategic insights.
- Data insights are shared using Tableau Server without the need to purchase the full server suite, typically a $20,000 annual investment.
How it works
- CMSteward Consulting LLC creates a mirror of the agency’s important data points in a cloud hosted database, standardized across agencies.
- Normalizing specific data and the data structure allows the data to be tied to any number of publicly available data sets, such as the US Census and other public information.
- Utilizing Alteryx, another industry standard program, data is typically updated monthly but depends on the agencies needs.
- Agency and additional public information is located in a cloud data lake.
- Extracts, the basis for simple and powerful visualizations, that combine these data sources are created and posted to the Tableau Server, hosted by Boulder Insights.
- CMSteward Consulting LLC develops generic dashboards based on industry experience which can be adopted or changed by the agency to fit their individual needs.
- Agencies can create their own dashboards for internal publication and they can share them with other agencies, leveraging the talent and imagination of all of the analysts and staff who choose to create.
