Info

Data Description, Inc., Ithaca, New York, is a software and development company dedicated to twin enterprises: data analysis and exploration and multimedia technology for training and education. We have a long record of successful innovation in both arenas and continue to pursue excellence and opportunities in each. Data Analysis and Exploration As award-winning pioneers in graphic display and statistical analysis, we create commercial software, custom applications, and integrated applications for data analysis and exploration. The idea driving these products, and what distinguishes them from competing developments, is that seeing is understanding. Anyone who needs to gain actionable insight from raw data will do that faster, more accurately, and more effectively if he or she can see the patterns in their data and explore the relationships among them. We are the leading developer of software tools for interactive data visualization and exploration, and an application development environment for customizing, extending and integrating these tools. Multimedia Technology for Training and Education Using our proprietary MediaDX technology to serve customers in the corporate, government, and education markets, we develop interactive programs for computer-based learning. These content-rich productions deploy a full array of media, sound, video, narration, animation, and web access, to allow the user to learn, experience, and practice key concepts and important skills. They can be used to address any subject in any field, but are particularly well-suited for those disciplines where the practice of the discipline is performed on the computer, or can be simulated effectively on one.
