The right dataset – without all the hassle
Do you need a specific dataset, but it is not available? Or are you not permitted to use it for your specific objective due to privacy concerns? Then you have a few options. You could look for useable data online, but such datasets are often not ideal for the purpose for which you want to use them. Another option is to create a fictitious file yourself, but this is often a complex and time-consuming process.

DOTS DataSampler is suitable for…
Teachers
You teach a course that involves data and analytics and you want your students to perform analyses themselves. How do you access data quickly that is also suitable for the type of analysis you want your students to perform?
Data specialists
You want to perform a new analysis or use an application, but you want to prototype it first. Getting data from your organization is either too time consuming or you might not be able to use it due to privacy concerns. How can you push forward anyway and decide, based on the prototype, to start using your ‘own’ data?
Dashboard specialists
You have a new idea for a dashboard. You know from experience that it takes a long time to source the data needed to build a new one. However, you first want to test whether such a dashboard meets the needs of potential users. How can you build one quickly to demonstrate how it works?
IT specialists
You regularly set up new applications or modify existing ones. Part of this process involves testing. You can’t just use a sample of your own data due to privacy concerns. But those tests still need to be done. So, how do you obtain a suitable dataset?
