Cooptimize: Data Teams for Architecture, Engineering & Construction Firms
What is Cooptimize?
Cooperative:
Cooptimize is a worker-owned cooperative. Our Members provide Fractional Data Teams supporting the AEC industry.
Experience:
Cooptimize Members have deep experience using Microsoft’s Dynamics 365 business applications, data warehousing, and Microsoft reporting tools to solve real business problems.
In past lives, Cooptimize Members have architected D365 ISV solutions for the AEC industry, built Business Intelligence reporting solutions for D365 data, created KPI executive dashboards, and implemented D365 solutions as systems integrators.
We bring this breadth of experience to our work as members of the cooperative, and to enhance your business’ data capabilities as a Fractional Data Team.
What does Cooptimize do for AEC firms?
Data Migration:
In D365 implementations, systems integrators frequently address data migration by sending the migrating business a set of excel templates. This is NOT a serious data migration strategy!
Data migration is a critical part of ERP implementation. Data migration is an iterative process. Data migration should be repeatable. Data mappings should be automated.
At Cooptimize, we’ve built tools within SQL, Logic Apps, and Power Apps to facilitate the cleaning, transforming, and loading of data into D365, but more importantly we’ve built years of experience dealing with D365 implementations and data to take D365 data migration seriously.
Data Teams:
Building data capabilities within a business is a continuous improvement process. Business data is highly context-specific.
Cooptimize Fractional Data Teams give you the benefit of a consistent, personal relationship with a data professional who has a nuanced understanding of your business and data, as well as access to the extensive knowledge and experience across the cooperative as a whole.
What are Fractional Data Teams?
Consultants with a variety of data skills, collaborating with your business on an ongoing basis.
Why Fractional Data Teams?
Businesses need data help, but might not know what kind of help.
