DATA & DECISION ANALYTICS Data is at the core of every decision being made. Historically, the role of analytics has been to build reports and to look for ways to extract value from available data. But that does not necessarily mean data analysts are answering the right questions. AST takes a different approach- instead of finding a purpose for data, we find data for a purpose. Our experts help identify and test the best solutions for improving performance and integrating concepts for optimum data-driven decision-making. Our approach begins with answering critical questions: what happened (descriptive), why something happened (diagnostic), what is likely to happen (predictive), and what actions are needed to eliminate future problems (prescriptive). The answers to these questions help our clients settle on a data analytics strategy by identifying the organization’s key decisions and the people who make them. Our knowledge-based decision-making solutions provide new insights from previously untapped data sources to design the data analytics solution with the optimal technology stack, and a detailed road map to implement and launch it successfully. Our implementation and management solutions provide customizable data tools to help empower business users to know what to expect and leverage data to proactively plan and readjust their budgets throughout execution.

AST integrates innovative solutions to address our clients' challenges in a rapidly-transitioning advanced technology environment. E MPOWERING S OLUTIONS T HROUGH E XPERTISE

Knowledge-BasedDecision-Making AST deploys a knowledge-based decision-making model that uses advanced analytics techniques such as text analytics, machine learning, predictive analytics, data mining, statis- tics, and natural language processing, to gain new insights from previously untapped data sources. This frame- work is used to make strategic decisions by establishing a thought process behind a decision, ultimately reducing technical and financial project risk.

QualityAssurance andControl AST ensures risk is managed and that services provided, managed, and supported are reliable, their availability is maximized, and their performance is optimized. Our process proactively mon- itors potential risks, outlines risk mitiga- tion strategies, methods, processes, or procedures, and corrects or eliminates undesirable conditions. Throughout execution of our process, our clients are provided complete transparency to ensure overall requirements are accom- plished within the planned schedule and budget.

Implementation andManagement AST has expertise in the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPB&E) process and thought leadership. Our experts plan, organize, and manage resources to ensure successful completion of project goals and objectives. Throughout implementation, our consultants apply value engineering techniques and principles to evaluate and recommend the best economical approach to execute client projects. AST uses data during execution to substantially increase the value of support services through cost reduction, efficiencies, and/or improvement of results. Additionally, our team maintains services continuity, while offering capable/proven midware solutions to accommodate changes in performance requirements.
