Data to you is the review of collected information in a quick and easy to read, informative manner. A bit like your profit and loss report.
Data to me is how we get the collected information into that quick and easy to read, informative manner that you require.
So now that we understand that, where is your information to be collected? If its for a profit and loss report then you will find it in your bank statements, incoming invoices, last year's financials, employee contracts etc. If its for your sales team, you'll find it in their diaries, in the call log, on the computer etc.
So now that we know where to get the data, what now?
You contract me for a project and I get stuck in and grab the data, compile it, format it and present it to you, your sales team or your accountant.
Now that wasn't so hard was it? All you needed to do was point out what you wanted!
Therein lies the dynamics of data and outsourcing and why so many people love it.
