Datacequia’s mission is to simplify the discovery, accessibility, and use of data resources that drive informed decisions to address the pressing business challenges of today and beyond. Like the “acequia” irrigation waterways of New Mexico, we believe that collaborative co-curation of data flows, maintained under democratic self-governed communities of stakeholders, serve as an excellent model for growth in analytics to yield enhanced knowledge and insight. Scarce analytic budgets coupled with the rushing currents of source data require a sustainable approach in order to thrive in extreme environments.
