User Needs Assessment

The first step to a data management plan is to evaluate what your needs are for storage, access, and reporting of your information. Exa is here to help the client define their needs for access to information, prioritize recovery and organization of key data, and develop a data management plan to fit the organization budget and schedule. By working directly with organization staff, Exa can help to clarify the path forward without imposing an agenda or product, resulting in an information management plan that is geared to the needs, vision, and budget of the individual client.
