Big Picture SI’s work with non-profits strengthens their ability to measure and maximize the impacts of their programs.
PROGRAM EVALUATION
Our consultants work with you to design the evaluation appropriate for your program, and then to collect and analyze the data that helps you understand better your programs and their impact on the community you serve.
The evaluations we facilitate range from simple tracking of a handful of key program metrics, to fully instrumenting your program’s key outcomes, outputs and inputs. For foundations and government funders, we also offer in-depth, randomized control trials through partnerships with key research institutions.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Big Picture SI develops and implements data collection and analysis technology, implementing third party solutions as well as providing custom software solutions to non-profits committed to using data to improve their programs and extend their reach. We are experienced in numerous hardware and software platforms, including Access, SQL Server, and Social Solutions’ Efforts to Outcomes (ETO) software.
