Data Platforms, Search & Directories
Turn complex data into something people can actually use.
Cass & York builds searchable data platforms, directories, registries, resource hubs, maps, and discovery experiences.
We work with organizations that need to make large or complex datasets useful to customers, members, employees, or the public.

When a data platform makes sense
Make the data easier to find, manage, and act on.
- +Users struggle to find information inside a large dataset
- +Records live across spreadsheets or multiple systems
- +An organization maintains a large directory manually
- +Location is important to discovery
- +Data needs to be searchable by multiple attributes
- +Existing CMS search is insufficient
- +Records need approval or administrative management
- +Information must be synchronized from external systems
