Datamum

Datamum was hired by a large automotive corporation to validate statistical models aimed at improving inventory efficiency. The project was significant, requiring three months of work from a team of three to four people from SPSS, and costing five figures for Datamum's involvement. Stephanie, the owner of Datamum, was chosen due to her extensive knowledge of the automotive industry and expertise in SAS. She worked closely with the in-house team and SPSS to validate the databases they had built. Stephanie determined the SPSS models were not valid and more robust data capture was required. The project was completed early in the year, and the automotive corporation plans to engage Datamum for future data modelling projects.

At a major university in Tennessee, Datamum worked on a project called SETE (Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness). Stephanie Thompson, the owner of Datamum, was responsible for analyzing data gathered from students about their experiences in courses. She used SAS to create appropriate analyses for individual faculty members, departments and colleges. The project, which was completed several years ago during Stephanie's tenure, had a minimal cost as the hardware infrastructure and application software were already in place. The SETE system has been in place for six or seven years and has increased efficiency.
