To begin with, datEx started with data services. It was a transition time, in 2000, when there had been serious dearth of quality and quantity data. Yet needs and requirements for volumes of precision data were growing for national development, peaking logical and natural momentum under congenial environs for almost a decade together. Seeing the opportunity, datEx ventured forward to fill the gap. Data sustain all time utility in that, all the planning, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation activities are dependent on data. Every entity needs data for assessment and informed decision thereof. Being an intimate and important partner in input supply of client entities, datEx learned and expanded its understanding of the problems facing the communities, the societies and the nation as a whole. Through processing, analyses, interpretation and application of data, it made inroads into the mainstream works, in small but steady steps while never shifting, let alone losing, its focus from capture and prompt delivery of precision data. datEx today, one and a half decades since turning of the new millennium, provides data as well as consulting services in a host of sectors and disciplines.
