Self-Service Data Collection (SSDC) enables organisations to collect and ingest their own data into the Seer platform.
Self Service Data Collection (SSDC) is an Add On for organisations that have a premium subscription to the Seer Data & Analytics platform.
Collect
SSDC provides a way for organisations to collect data in a single place, whether by inviting Contributors outside your organisation to provide new aggregated data, or by importing existing Unit Record Level data (also known as microdata) you already have securely into the Seer platform.

Store
Seer automatically queues any new data that has been contributed or imported to an SSDC dataset for ingestion and storage, in a way that makes it available for powerful analysis, visualisation and sharing in the Seer platform.
Analyse
Once an SSDC dataset has been ingested, organisations and users that the dataset moderator has provided access to will be able to use the Seer Explore Data tool to explore, analyse and create Insights from the available data.
Visualise
Insights built on top of data in the Analysis phase are inherently visual, and can be placed in Suitcases and on Dashboards to tell a vibrant story, accompanied by rich text, media and branding that forms a part of the whole data story and community context.
Share
Sharing is built into every part of the Seer platform because we believe in the power of collaboration and shared understanding. You can share the raw data from your datasets to make it available to other users and organisations for analysis, with highly granular and flexible access controls to choose exactly what you would like to share (eg. only share data about a specific location). Suitcases and Insights are also designed to be shared with broader audiences, with sharing across organisations and users, but also sharing to your stakeholders enabled via public links and embeds.
