DCA-Markets focuses on risk management for agribusiness. A good understanding of the functioning of markets, relevant news and information are of great importance. Data plays a decisive role in this. Knowledge and data from the past are crucial to explain the present and gain insight into the future. DCA searches the market for relevant public data and stores it in its Dataview system.
In the meantime, you can speak of Big data. In our Dataview system we have 2.000 data fields containing important agricultural values, including history. We recently added a few hundred of those fields to our database. This makes DCA Markets an important source for parties in the market that do not have this type of data, including history. And therefore not being able to make such important analyzes and thus missing important information.
The system we use for this, Dataview, is also available to our relations. We can set up this system as desired in such a way that the desired information is automatically placed in the database if there is an update as soon as there is an update. Those updates can be picked up by the system regardless of format (MS Word, Excel, Pdf, CSV, etc.) and location (email, newsletters, websites, etc.).
By automating this process, which is often done by different people in an organization (differently and often twice), a lot of efficiency benefits can be gained. The data is also stored consistently and unambiguously (in the same currency, volume, etc). As a result, there is no longer any discussion about who has the correct data. Everyone 'looks at the same thing' when making important decisions.
The data can be further processed and possibly converted using formulas. This in turn can be visualized in all sorts of ways and made accessible via intranet, internet, newsletters, etc. Customers can also be served and kept up to date when it comes to key markets. The data is securely stored and monitored in the cloud, with the advantage that it is available 'anywhere, anytime, any device'.
Are you curious about how we as DCA approach and guide the above? Do you also want to save on the costs of maintaining market data and ensure that this is done properly and consistently so that you can be sure that the data on which you make decisions is uniform, current, consistent and reliable?
