3. Define Your Data (Milestone)

What data do you need to help students in CTE? We will walk you through this process. We tend to think of this as a two-part question:

  1. What is the data you need?
  2. How will you get this data?

An Example of “What”

In working with a current CTE customer, they’ve defined their monthly data needs as the following:

These needs are quite substantial! But Abre brings all the data into one spot.

An Example of “How”

There are two primary methods of gathering data in Abre.

1. You Send Us The Data

If you’re happy with your current systems for collecting data, you can send the data to Abre via a number of methods (we help you find the best). This doesn’t involve change (the dreaded “change management”). We take what you send us and we build the data into Abre.

The one downside to this method is sometimes this can take time (it’s not “realtime”). You also are maintain many different system when Abre can help shrink the number of applications you need.

Example of Data Sync Methods

2. You Collect Data with the Abre Platform

We have a number of apps that can collect data natively for you. For example, our forms app can be used for surveys or our behavior app can be used for capturing behavior.

What this Milestone Involves

It’s consultive with Abre working with you to define the data you need and how we will collect it.
