eIMPACT is a data visualization software company headquartered in White Salmon, WA (in the Portland metro but deeper in the Silicon Forest), where we enjoy great quality of life along with an awesome tech community (see the full report here!). In addition to being data geeks, we are extremely (and obsessively) focused on our clients' success. We are also committed in an inclusive company culture built on guiding principles of mutual respect and accountability.
As data and software experts, our journey began while helping a client solve an urgent data visualization and reporting problem. They were spending excessive amounts of time and budget on one-off data analysis, and manual data collection. With demands on staff time increasing, they needed a partner to take data visualization off their plates and simplify their lives.
The idea of eIMPACT was born.
Within weeks of launch, our client realized dramatic results in saved staff time and better engagement with their stakeholders. The cost of the eIMPACT solution was returned several times over.
After we helped our first client we realized the same problem existed everywhere we looked: organizations everywhere are searching for ways to tell their story more effectively, using data. We have been on a mission to help drive results through democratizing data visualization ever since.
