Data Science & Analytics

High Side Technology’s data science and analytics capability transforms complex, disparate data into meaningful information for our customers. We combine technical expertise, disciplined processes, and a focus on customer engagement to all stages of the data science process lifecycle, enabling rapid delivery of analytic products aligned to our customer’s objectives. The outcomes of High Side analytic products and services are actionable insights, giving our customers the tools they need to proactively identify and pursue opportunities, mitigate risks, optimize performance, and reduce the costs of meeting their missions.

Data Fusion

Accessing and consolidating robust, accurate data is the foundation of any successful data science effort, and one of the most challenging parts to get right. In today’s highly connected world, we have access to massive amounts of data captured across wide-ranging sources and stored in varying mediums/formats. HST works with our customers to gain an in-depth understanding of the relevant data sources available and identifies potential additional data sources based on our experience and expertise that would enhance analytical efforts. We apply advanced tools and techniques to consolidate, clean, and organize data and have experience with varying levels of complexity, from mining structured data and developing relational connections to applying advanced data fusion techniques to organize unstructured data with disparate formats. We have a keen eye for identifying data gaps and opportunities to increase data quality, providing recommendations to support improved data strategy and architecture plans for our customers.

Data Modeling for Descriptive Analytics

Distilling massive amounts of data down into meaningful insights comes with many challenges. High Side Technology is adept at building models that overcome those challenges, employing a rigorous yet flexible approach while working hand in hand with our customers to develop actionable models. With the overall objectives in mind, we develop notional frameworks for the model, identify and document assumptions, and build an entry point in the model for required inputs. Using data mining and data fusion tools, we ingest various data sources into the model and define/create relationships across the data inputs to accurately organize the data in the model. Our team explores the ingested data, using tools ranging from basic aggregation and trend analysis to more complex mathematical and statistical techniques. Data exploration efforts help develop insights used to develop algorithms needed to transform aspects of the data as well as measures/KPI’s used to summarize model results. Our models are built with flexibility and transparency in mind, allowing for dynamic updates to the model and user-friendly exploration of model inputs, transformations, and outputs.

Data Science and Predictive Analytics

In today’s environment, understanding our data from a historical and ‘as-is’ perspective is no longer enough. High Side Technology leverages data science tools to provide solutions that inform where you are headed. Our predictive analytics capability develops models that predict future performance, enabling proactive decision-making to support mission objectives. We develop hypotheses based on initial stakeholder engagement and data exploration. From there we employ tools to randomly partition data into training, validation and test sets to support model development, tuning, and evaluation of model results against our hypotheses. We are well-versed in multiple regression analysis and the related techniques required to remove bias and improve confidence in the analysis.

Data Visualization

Data visualization is critical to communicating the ‘so what?’ of analytic projects, summarizing the results of rigorous, technically complex analysis in an easy-to-consume medium. High Side Technology has a deep understanding of both the art and science of successful data visualization. We combine our technical expertise in visualization science, best practices in design, and knowledge of the psychology of human thought patterns and decision-making tools to create compelling visualizations and narratives that give our customers a comprehensive understanding of their organizational performance and what to do next. We employ multiple visualization tools based on what best fits our customer needs, ranging from dashboards built in Excel to more robust tools including Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik.

High Side Technology (HST) provides insights to clients’ missions by understanding and applying technologies, tools, workflows, and methodologies to support decision-making and deliver data-driven results. We transform complex, disparate data into meaningful information and intelligence for our customers. HST combines technical expertise, disciplined processes, and a focus on customer engagement to all stages of the data science process, enabling rapid delivery of analytic products aligned to our customer’s objectives. HST’s analytic products and services engender actionable insights, giving our customers the tools needed to proactively identify and pursue opportunities, mitigate risks, optimize performance, and reduce mission costs.

HST brings extensive experience with data fusion and analytical methodologies applied to business operations and to military and intelligence problem spaces. We also perform data modeling to support descriptive analytics and apply data science methods to conduct predictive analysis. Our expertise includes Structured Observation Management (SOM) and related Activity-Based Intelligence (ABI) methodologies for analysis combining various types of data. We also bring extensive knowledge and experience with the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) models within standards-based data and analytic frameworks.
