Data Creation & Data Entry

Data creation is for tasks ranging from basic data entry into converting your data from a piece of paper into an electronic document.  Sometimes this involves creating charts, databases and graphs on short notice for clients.

Capabilities

• Databases via Access and/or Excel — to keep and maintain electronic records of large size and quantity.
• Document Transfer into Adobe PDF — including flatbed scanner for print documents.
• Excel spreadsheets and graphs
• Word Processing

Example Projects Skagit IMS Has Done:

• As the webmaster of www.skagitriverhistory.com, converting many documents into Adobe PDF and at times either retyping or using OCR (Object Character Recognition) software to transfer the text from paper documents into a searchable document.
• Assigned by Skagit County Government the task of finding statistics on the Skagit River reservoirs between 1995-1996 and 2005-2006 flood seasons and then creating charts in Microsoft Excel as the example shows.
• The Hamilton Public Development Authority (Hamilton PDA) asked Skagit IMS to enter 492 surveys, with proprietary information, into an Access Database and prepare a 14 page report giving the statistics of the answers and recommendations on moving forward with floodplain management.
• Hamilton PDA requested in February-March 2008 for Skagit IMS to enter 47 surveys from Hamilton and prepare a 4-page table for a submission to the Skagit County Planning Commission on the relocation of the Town of Hamilton out of the floodway.
