Key Benefits
Data Protection and Security
Security is the highest priority which is why we ensure all data is encrypted in transit and at rest making data unrecognizable without decryption within your Knack database.
Incorporate standard or advanced (SSO) logins to authenticate users for each application. Enable a mixture of public facing pages for open data and secure pages for employees.
Knack actively creates backups and restore points, maintains redundancy protocol, and leverages SOC and ISO certified cloud services for our infrastructure.
Reporting and data visualization
When it comes to reporting it is necessary to visualize your data in a meaningful way. Leverage multiple charting and graphing options to tell your data story.
Not all reports are created equal! What is important to one agency, may not be to another. Design reports using tables, grouping, color-coded blocks, and icons.
User dashboards are excellent for reporting on the data that a particular user groups need at the ready. Customize further to limit to department or user level access.
Workflow and process automation
Streamline the important tasks and prioritize completion in order to meet specific deadlines and project goals.
Decisions happen at multiple levels and by using the workflow tools, approvals can be passed through the governance continuum resulting in rapid authorization.
Combining user-specific data pages, email notifications, and reminders, ensure that each deadline will be met with on-time.
Customer Spotlight: Austin City Government
Arterial Management is a division in the Department of Transportation tasked with enabling safe movement for all modes of transportation on the city’s high-traffic roads. From traffic signals to real-time monitoring to working directly with citizens, they handle a lot of data.
They needed a better way to handle their data and enable their team to do the job they were hired for. After exploring numerous solutions, it was Knack’s combination of flexibility and powerful features that proved to be the exact solution the city of Austin needed to end its data gridlock.
“The application has only what we need it to have, the enterprise alternative would be really bloated with a bunch of functionality that we don’t need.”
