Every industry stands to benefit from the power of data. Proper use of that data gives organizations a key competitive edge in the fulfillment of their missions.
DAP partners with its clients to provide end-to-end, long-term data solutions. We don’t just install analytics and leave. We listen to our clients, evaluate their business practices, and formulate an analytics plan that actually works. We identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) that actually matter, cranking down the noise and teasing out the data that provide the right information. We then help our clients understand how to interpret that data, and build a user-friendly dashboard that aggregates data from multiple sources into one beautiful, user-friendly dashboard. Anything you can count, you can improve. DAP’s Chicago analytics services help organizations achieve their full potential, and beyond.
We start by analyzing your analytics—what data do you already track? What data do you have access to and you didn’t even know it? How many different sources do you pull data from? Do they feed into a centralized back office? Are reports easy to generate? What’s missing? We perform a thorough analytics audit and identify key areas for improvement.
“KPI” is short for “key performance indicator.” This is a metric you can track over time. Movement in a KPI might indicate that your strategies are working, or they might reveal a need for improvement. Not every organization will have the same KPIs. eCommerce might depend on email open rates, professional service providers on conversion rates, biotech companies on biometric data. We identify which KPIs you must track, and which ones don’t apply to you.
Data only matters to your business if it can serve as a guide to decision-making. An event taxonomy is a sequence of events that recommend a course of action. We help you develop a taxonomy that makes it easy to act on your data—when events fulfill the conditions of your taxonomy, you know exactly how to respond.
Once we understand the gaps in your analytics, define KPIs, and build an event taxonomy, we devise a step-by-step strategy to implement your analytics.
Choosing the right platform is critical to a successful analytics strategy. DAP’s Chicago analytics team has critical insight to help you identify the right solutions. We have expertise in all the leading platforms, including Tableau, Domo, Sisense, and many more.
Most organizations have data coming in from multiple sources. There’s no reason why this should mean chaos and information overload. We integrate all your data sources into one holistic collection architecture.
Every organization worries that an upgrade means ditching their current infrastructure and upgrading—costly and perhaps unnecessary. DAP understands this struggle, and we bend over backwards to devise a solution compatible with your current infrastructure.
One of the most important insights your data can grant you is what messages cause your visitors to convert to clients, leads, or customers, and what messages don’t work nearly as well. We help you use analytics to home in on the best possible conversion strategy.
Key to identifying the best messages and processes is comparing one option to the other. A/B testing across multiple variables allows you to present your assets to a defined audience and see which one performs better.
The most important A/B tests are on your “call to action” (CTA), the instructions to your prospects on what to do next. Something as simple as the color of the button could lead to more conversions—and we don’t leave that to chance. We A/B test your CTAs across every variable imaginable, so you don’t have to.
Whether you sell hard products, data, or information, we extensively track the performance of your product, uncovering opportunities to improve the product page or customer journey to increase sales.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one centralized dashboard to view all your KPIs? DAP makes sure you don’t have to go on a scavenger hunt to piece together the data you need. We organize all your relevant KPIs on one easy-to-read dashboard.
Many analytics strategies fail not because you fail to gather the data, but because the data never makes it to the team member who has the authority and expertise to act on it. We develop customized analytics solutions that ensure the right team member has access to the right data at the right time.
Email marketing plays a critical role in the back-end development of a business. Want to cross-sell? Upsell? Increase your “customer lifetime value”? Email marketing is the way to do it. We install top-notch email analytics so you know exactly how well your campaigns are working, and where there is room for improvement.
SEO experts consider content marketing the best strategy for long-term brand growth. DAP’s Chicago analytics team implements data-monitoring on your content to determine what content is performing well and what isn’t. We also use predictive analysis to make data-driven decisions on what content you should produce next.
Social media presence can make or break brands. DAP installs game-changing analytics on your brand’s social media to determine which posts are working and which aren’t. This helps us devise a strategy to use social media to the greatest advantage of your brand.
You have to know the data behind your marketing analytics. How else do you know whether you are getting your money’s worth? We install industry-best analytics on your digital marketing campaigns so you always know exactly how much each sale costs you.
Gathering the data is just the beginning. We devise custom reporting algorithms to present you the data in a coherent, visually appealing way—only the data you need, minus the noise.
A picture is worth a thousand words. We incorporate visualization tools to help you spot trends in the data that a column of numbers might not reveal.
So now you have the data … What do you do about it? We arm our reporting solutions with automated “takeaway” suggestions based on our event taxonomy. You won’t just have the data … you’ll have clear suggestions of next steps.
Few industries stand to benefit from data analytics more than the healthcare industry. In the move to digital, retail, and telehealth models, medical providers can no longer be assured of a captive audience of patients and care-seekers. They have to compete in a digital environment and can’t ignore user-behavior trends—exactly the kinds of things you need analytics to track.
More so than marketing and building a patient journey, data collection is revolutionizing the way that care is provided. Doctors and other care providers have access to a wealth of user-generated data collected by wearable devices, SaMD, and IoMT devices. All of that data is inert without the systems necessary to collate and interpret it.
DAP’s Chicago data analytics experts help healthcare providers sort out their data-collection architecture so they can attract more patients, and render better care once the patients enter their system.
Implementing healthcare data analytics can benefit providers in many ways, including:
Healthcare companies must comply with exacting HIPAA standards in the collection and storage of data. DAP’s Chicago analytics team are HIPAA experts, experienced in building and maintaining a compliant analytics system.
Government data collection is a sensitive subject, to put it mildly, but government organizations can use benign user data to improve services and transparency in any number of ways. The key mandate of governments is to help constituents, dispense justice, and provide order and accountability. Data analytics help governments understand their constituents and their interactions with the government, making it easier for public servants to serve.
DAP has helped numerous local, state, and federal government agencies put the power of analytics to use for the public good. Advantages that bureaus and agencies reap from our Chicago analytics services include:
As fintech companies disrupt old standards and financial institutions adapt to become more customer-oriented, the importance of data collection cannot be overstated. Insights into customer behavior can be gleaned from every transaction and interaction, then used to create a better, more personalized customer experience.
Analytics help bring vast swarms of activity in digital finance under control, reducing them to manageable figures that tell coherent stories and point to actionable insights.
DAP’s Chicago analytics services help financial and fintech institutions:
The education industry has always depended on data to understand students, evaluate teachers, and track progress toward fulfilling the mandate of a school or university. As education joins the exodus to digital, that’s more true than ever.
Digital learning tools can be armed with analytics to track student and teacher behavior down to the most minute details, while student outcomes and teacher performance can be tracked with both accuracy and precision.
DAP is a leader in the field of education analytics. Our Chicago analytics team has devised and deployed data collection and reporting systems for some of the most prestigious universities, high-impact schools, and industry-leading digital learning companies.

Ecommerce was one of the industries that first made the power of analytics known to the world. The discovery that you could track user interactions, use data to improve customer journeys, quantify the results of digital marketing so you would always know if you were “buying” customers for less than the revenue they generated–it was an earthquake in the global economy, one that we are still feeling today.
Ecommerce remains popular precisely because you can quantify everything. DAP’s Chicago analytics team can rig every corner of your business architecture with data traps that tell you who your customers are, what they care about, what they are looking at when they decide to buy, where in the customer journey they are making the decision not to buy and need more persuasion.
Properly executed, Ecommerce analytics are a window into every aspect of your buyer funnel to identify problem areas, fix them, and get real-time input as to whether the fixes work. DAP analytics solutions for Ecommerce stores include:
Analytics have been a boon to every manufacturing operation that has adopted them.

Any professional service agency that has not put the power of data to work for them is simply leaving money on the table, ignoring their biggest opening for growth. This goes for accountants, consultants, engineers, architects, and IT vendors. Without analytics, you have no idea how your clients are responding to your marketing materials or how well your website converts clients to leads. All you know is that it’s working or not working, but you don’t know why or what needs fixing.
Analytics can help professional service providers paint a picture of their ideal customer, and then use that profile to laser-target them with marketing materials. Analytics can help you A/B test your marketing creative and home in on the perfect message that gets them clicking, converting, buying.

Any professional services vendor who relies on guesswork is at a critical disadvantage. Agencies that use data as their guide can right their revenue flow and turn it into a well-oiled machine.

DAP didn’t build a world-class Chicago analytics team based on lucky guesses, and your organization won’t rely on lucky guesses either if we have anything to say about it. Data doesn’t lie—reliable analytics tell you what your customers are doing, how your software or website is working. We rely on data, and we have the experience and expertise to put data on your side as well.
We start with an audit of your current analytics architecture, then present a detailed report of recommendations of needed features, current user behavior, areas for possible testing, and suggested event taxonomies. The goal of our Chicago analytics services is to give you an unvarnished, no-nonsense report of where you stand, and where you could go by tracking the right analytics.
Data is great, but let’s not forget why we’re collecting all of this data. When properly executed, good data analytics tell you how your users are interacting with your site. User behavior can help identify problem areas, as well as successful elements to replicate.
Do visitors tend to bounce back quickly from one page? How can the UX be improved to keep them there? Spend a long time on another page? What is working that can be duplicated? No one is clicking on the CTA? How can it be improved? Every data point DAP’s Chicago analytics team collects plays a role in strategizing for the improvement of UX.
There’s an art and a science to running tests and interpreting the analytics. Many organizations get it wrong, which is a shame because it’s indispensable. Deploying and testing features is the only way to get user feedback and determine if the features are working. Analytics gather that feedback without you having to look over the shoulder of every user.
DAP’s Chicago analytics team devises and deploys focused A/B and multivariate tests to identify the most effective user journey. We identify bottlenecks, eliminate friction, and present you with a validated UI that puts you far ahead of your competition.
Generally speaking, the more data you gather, the more reliable the results. So how do you make sense of a vast collection of data and extract coherent results? Business intelligence is the tech sector aimed at deriving actionable solutions from huge data sets.
