Through her twenty odd years of experience working in the stakeholder engagement field, Allison came to realise the need for simple yet effective consultation management software. Efficient tools to manage the volumes of data generated through stakeholder engagement programs were sorely needed. Tools of the day (spreadsheets and basic databases) treated the data in very simplistic ways and did nothing to extract any real knowledge from the data. Two key things were missing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li type=\"square\">The ability to efficiently manage the large volumes of data stakeholder engagement programs can generate<\/li>\n<li type=\"square\">The ability to effectively communicate the results of the stakeholder engagement process to the decision makers \u2013 turning largely qualitative data into easily understood information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Our vision<\/h2>\n<p>Our vision for Darzin is for informed decisions, leading to better outcomes for our communities through dramatic improvements in data management.<\/p>\n<p>Darzin was created with three main objectives in mind:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li type=\"square\">Make the process of data management and distribution more efficient<\/li>\n<li type=\"square\">Extract knowledge from qualitative data<\/li>\n<li type=\"square\">Present information in formats easily understood by decision makers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You will see these objectives reflected in the design of Darzin. Our focus is on streamlining and automating the data collection process where ever possible. We spend a lot of time ensuring the user interface is intuitive and friendly, constantly working towards making Darzin easier and faster to use. Our qualitative analysis tool still remains a key distinguishing factor for Darzin, no other software yet has anything that comes even close to it. Our focus on extracting knowledge from data means that Darzin has over 50 standard reports, including maps, charts, lists and tables.<\/p>\n<h2>Our team<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Experts in the community engagement field, particularly in relation to evaluation, consultation data management, stakeholder engagement process design (including deliberative processes).<\/li>\n<li>User-friendly consultation management software developers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What we do<\/h2>\n<p>Although our \u201cmain job\u201d is to design innovative stakeholder management software we are not just a bunch of IT geeks, we take responsibility to make sure our software delivers required outcomes.
