Digitally Speaking Ep.1: Turning Data Overload into Actionable Insights
The real barrier to better decisions isn’t data - it’s disconnected systems. USDA soil scientists needed critical insights, like moisture and carbon levels, to support better land management and policy. But the data was buried across fragmented systems and formats. Abt Digital Solutions helped build the Dynamic Soils Hub—a centralized, AI-powered platform that pulls the right indicators in seconds, not days. We applied intelligent tagging, structured metadata, and machine learning to do the heavy lifting so scientists could spend less time wrangling data and more time using it. If your agency is drowning in data, it’s time to rethink your structure.
