Putting Data to Work! That means de-cluttering all that paper or files and packaging the information so that it becomes efficient and useful.
Do you have information that's just lying around? Do you want to access that information — whether it's on paper or in old computer files — in order to complete a project, tidy up the office, write a book? Do you need to know what's in all those files or boxes? I can take all your information, whether electronic or paper, and present it back to you in the format you need (including databases, presentations and websites).
Or, do you need a report prepared that includes a specification that will give a pathway to digitisation? I research and write reports set out the background, the project steps, the type of work that needs to be carried out, recommendations for best practice and standards, and the plan of work — my speciality is digitisation projects or software specification.
Are you writing a book or collecting information for another purpose? I can do research at the major research institutions in Ireland and abroad and prepare reports.
Is your website in need of a new look? I will take your information (text, images, etc) and create a simple, easy-to-use, user-friendly website.
