Snowflake brings data from different projects into one safe, easy-to-grow system so people can work together more easily and run faster, deeper analyses.

Knowli Data Science

Providing data analysis, charts and dashboards that support Florida Cooperative Extension’s main projects and goals.

MySidewalk 

Used in the Florida Cooperative Extension system to help make decisions based on data, track progress and improve strategies. It provides community-level information to find priorities, understand program needs and support consistent evaluation.

PEARS

The PEARS platform helps standardize data collection for Florida Cooperative Extension. It is designed to improve the effectiveness of programs and make work easier for faculty and staff. PEARS also collects information from Extension Specialists, RSAs, SSAs, and County Agents, helping keep data consistent across the whole organization.

Our Goal

Modernizing UF/Extension programs by integrating Artificial Intelligence and Business Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence focuses on automating processes and optimizing decision-making. Meanwhile, Business Intelligence consolidates data from various sources to create a robust infrastructure that supports Artificial Intelligence applications. Together, they streamline operations, enhance reporting and improve the overall effectiveness of Extension activities.
