Discovering DiscoverEI
It all started with a simple observation…
DiscoverEI was founded by Alice and Christian in April 2019. It was discovered on the back of a very simple observation:
The world we live in is changing.
As two environmental engineers who have worked in the consulting industry for nearly a decade, we have witnessed first-hand the stresses on our environment.
“You don’t have to go far to find drying river beds at the end of another hot Australia summer”
As our cities continue to expand and our climate changes, our natural systems will be placed under even more pressure.
We need to rethink how we manage our precious environment!
A flood of data
We are fortunate to be living in an age where technology is constantly evolving. As environmental engineers, this technology now provides us with an exciting opportunity to harness big data, where we can monitor, analyse, and predict changes to our complex environmental systems in real time.
“However, technology now creates a new challenge of it’s own; where organisations can literally become flooded with data”
As engineers, we spent a large chunk of our time collating and processing data. We produced lengthy, static reports, with hundreds of pages of appendices to present this data.
However, this made it hard for our clients to navigate through and difficult to decipher the key insights from the noise.
Discover Environmental Intelligence
Alice and Christian started DiscoverEI because they believed that there was a more effective way to navigate, visualise and share environmental data so that we can work together and make data driven decisions about the future sustainability of our environment.
Our mission is to bring environmental data to life!
Our aim is to translate the numbers on the page into interactive and dynamic visuals, which our clients can use to understand these complex environmental problems we are working together to solve.
So we set out to explore how we could take advantage of the different tools at our disposal, such as business intelligence, computer animations and immersive technology, and apply these to help bridge the communication gap within the environmental industry.
Let’s unleash your data
At DiscoverEI, we take advantage of the latest advancements in environmental intelligence, and the core services we focus on include:
Environmental Analytics: we build interactive dashboards and mobile apps to provide an entire projects worth of data at your fingertips.
Visual Solutions: we use drones, computer animations and immersive technologies to visualise the complex environments we are working to protect.
Environmental Modelling: we conceptualise, configure and simulate models of groundwater and surface water systems, to develop solutions for your environmental challenges.
“However, when you combine these three tools together, that’s when the magic really happens!”
Tell your data story
At DiscoverEI, we understand that you can’t just have the right tools for the job, you need to have a deep understanding of the data and the complex problems we are working to solve.
We combine our knowledge of environmental and water resource management with our skills in business intelligence and motion graphics, and partner with industry experts to help secure a more sustainable environment for the future.
