Imagistic Reverse Engineers Data Analysis System / SPSS

After the Benchmarking Network moved from within Public/Private Ventures to the Corporation for a Skilled Workforce, Imagistic was tasked with reverse engineering the internal process used to generate survey reports. Once completed, the Imagistic team would help process a new set of survey results to be published online, and document what was learned through the process so it could be repeated more easily in the future. Data for the reports is collected using an online survey and transferred as an SPSS dataset to the Workforce Benchmarking Network team. The data is then cleaned and analyzed, and the results are placed in a new SPSS dataset. Once in this final SPSS dataset, there are a number of processes and data "hand-shakes" needed to get the data, database and reports generated and synchronized for the participating organizations. "This was a really fun project for us because it required us to work in some new applications and program in a variant of Visual Basic to process the chart data through Excel into images," explained Imagistic president, Kevin Howard Goldberg. The project ended up going very smoothly and the documentation combined various internal documents and notes into a single step-by-step process description. Stacy Woodruff-Bolte was very pleased with the process, saying "... I appreciate [Imagistic's] ability to translate technical language into my language - that is not a skill many possess. It's made working with [Imagistic] on the refresh and overhaul of the ... reporting portal a rather smooth process." About the Workforce Benchmarking Network The ultimate goal of the Workforce Benchmarking Network is to promote success for low-skilled job seekers, the companies that employ them and the communities they live in—by ensuring that quality data about services and outcomes is available, and by building the field’s capacity to use that data to create more effective programs and policies.

Research For Action Migrates Site and Hosting to imagistic

The Communications team at Research for Action contacted Imagistic to discuss moving the hosting and maintenance of its site to Imagistic. After a number of emails and calls, RFA decided to move forward with the proposal. In addition to migrating the existing site from RFA's existing hosting provider, there were a number of additional tasks to complete at the same time. "The RFA site is using a set of WordPress plugins that were written a number of years ago and are no longer supported by the developer," explained Imagistic president, Kevin Howard Goldberg. "Because of this, we had to read through and trace the code to identify what wasn't working and why." The Imagistic team was able to find the problem and fix the plugin's code on-time and under budget, successfully migrating the RFA site to its new hosting environment.

Imagistic Completes Successful Multi-CMS Migration

Beginning in January, Imagistic spearheaded the migration of the Natural Resource Governance Institute website to a new server. "In most circumstances this would have been straight-forward," said Kevin Howard Goldberg, president of Imagistic. "However, the NRGI website was actually a blend of static HTML, Drupal 6, Drupal 7 and WordPress in a single user experience." The Imagistic team broke down the website methodically and addressed each migration separately; isolating code, files and databases. As well, each content management system was upgraded to its most current release to address bug fixes and security patches. Completing the full migration and DNS changes in late March, the entire project came in on-time and under budget. About the Natural Resource Governance Institute The Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) helps people to realize the benefits of their countries’ endowments of oil, gas and minerals. We do this through technical advice, advocacy, applied research, policy analysis, and capacity development. We work with innovative agents of change within government ministries, civil society, the media, legislatures, the private sector, and international institutions to promote accountable and effective governance in the extractive industries.
