Using ESSENCE had advantages compared to previous methods that extended beyond basic processes. The analytic and computational abilities of the system are more advanced, more accessible and more user friendly than those of previous systems. The ability to save and share queries and visualization dashboards as well as the added efficiency of navigation reduce redundancy and improve user functionality. Ultimately, the user experience is enhanced, and resources are optimized. In the future, ESSENCE will continue to expand available data sources as well as increase analytical capacity based on user feedback and identified system needs.
