IA Analytics: Now and Looking Ahead

IA ANALYTICS PROVIDES NEW INSIGHTS INTO PROJECT DESIGN.

Over two years ago, IA began an initiative focused on the in-depth potential of data in workplace design to deliver new insights and enhance the design process.

This focus was the inspiration for IA Analytics, a group of data driven tools and services geared towards improving the connection between stakeholders—from clients to project teams—and their projects. Tying it all together is IA’s ability to tell a meaningful story with data delivered by Power BI generated interactive reports and dashboards (fig.1). The following is a quick summary of the current IA Analytics systems and their benefits for stakeholders.

IA Insight

IA Insight is our bespoke Utilization Study system, consisting of three modules: Create—a web-based app for project initiation; Survey—an iOS based app for our work onsite (Fig. 2); and Analyze—an automated yet customizable way to take back-end data and create interactive dashboards that best tell a story with the data (Fig 3). IA Insight opens the door for IA strategists and designers to better convey to our clients how space is actually being used and how to best plan for the future.
