Government, Education and Non-Profit Research

Element recognizes that the information needs of governmental, education and the non-profit research communities differ from the needs of for-profit companies. Results are often measured in progress made toward greater understanding, not dollars and cents. It’s an environment that is often more collaborative and innovative, and less burdened by the constraints of commercialization. For example it’s not uncommon for multiple entities to pool resources on a project; or for software to be repurposed in unique new ways to solve problems.

With expertise in open source software, collaborative models for data sharing, and organizational interoperability, Element is your partner for developing your long term capabilities in information management.

Understanding how organizations collaborate, and bringing diverse ideas, people and information assets together is what brings researchers throughout the government sector and the academic community to Element. We understand how to negotiate the political, technological and social issues that can impede collaborative projects and we are unprejudiced when it comes to the technologies or methodologies used to solve problems.

Element's mantra is to help organizations turn data into thinking data®. This is the lens through which we view every project. We provide solutions and services for data quality, data warehousing, real time integration, analytics, and open, secure and transparent information dissemination to all stakeholders.
