Commitment To Excellence

While technology and Data Science professionals are the reason DASCA exists, organizations developing technologies, tools, applications and solutions related to big data are DASCA’s primary stakeholders. Next come user-organizations that deploy Data Science to correct their strategic postures, enhance their competitiveness, refine their business concepts, and optimize their value-delivery systems. Additionally, national governments and international bodies promoting and deploying Data Science technologies for growth drive some of DASCA’s key initiatives. Hence, accountability to excellence is the paradigm guiding all strategies, actions and decisions taken at DASCA.

DASCA operationalizes the accountability to excellence paradigm by ensuring that services related to registration, payments, partnering, logistics, exam and the total DASCA engagement experience to all stakeholders are delivered at the highest level. Additionally, DASCA follows stringent governing norms of credentialing system and practices, which comply with the federal norms prescribed by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies in the United States. The tenets of accountability, industry-connect, and ethical credentialing practice are enshrined in the governance structure, ensuring that all DASCA products and services are always designed and delivered on the basis of the needs and the voices of global Data Science stakeholders.

At DASCA, global experts handle the experience of being with DASCA and manage services related to registration, payments, partnering, logistics and certification exams. All exams are globally conducted on the ExamStrong system and Edvantic manages backend and frontend processes related to customer deliveries and services. As a global leader in credentialing support solutions, Edvantic also takes care of DASCA’s needs for data, research, content and management of various vendors connected to the Data Science credentialing value chain. DASCA’s expert partners and vendors manage delegated functions and processes on the highest global standards.

The DASCA governance system includes several advisory boards, zonal councils and committees. Important governance systems include committees and councils on advocacy management, partnering and credentialing process management. Zonal Advisory Boards generate informed opinions on the requirements of credentialing mechanisms and certification products in their respective zones. The Certification Board (DPCB) is responsible for validating professional competence standards certification exams. The Ethics Control Council (ECC) is responsible for defining the ethical framework and guiding, planning, and controlling the practice of the Code of Ethics worldwide.
