Database Management
Analytical and field-related data, physical files, and project management information associated with any environmental study can quickly become overwhelming, if not properly managed. The mismanagement of these data can lead to problems with data quality and completeness, project delays, the loss of data and information, increased costs, and inaccurate data interpretation. Exa Data & Mapping has expertise in developing and managing environmental data and have developed a variety of tools that streamline the capture, evaluation, and reporting of analytical data; allow for the management of physical files and historical environmental data; and provide access to current project information.
Ensuring the quality of data during field collection activities is also a critical component of database development and management. Exa establishes data quality objectives (DQOs) early in the project planning stages to ensure development of efficient and appropriate data collection programs. The staff at Exa have expertise establishing measurement performance criteria, coordinating with analytical and toxicological laboratories to monitor quality assurance activities, and validating the resultant data to evaluate laboratory performance to confirm that data are adequate for their intended uses.
