At Anton Consulting, the emphasis lies on "the human side of data." The firm focuses on how data can be effectively utilized, safeguarded, and leveraged to derive insights that pave the way for a better future for companies, customers, and society at large. Despite being a small company, Anton Consulting has successfully partnered with major corporations, dispelling the notion that quality is solely determined by size. In collaboration with The L.A. Trust, Anton Consulting has spearheaded the creation of the groundbreaking Data xChange—a unique database that stands unrivaled on the national stage of school-based health and software giants.
The collaboration between The L.A. Trust and Anton Consulting has yielded a HIPAA-compliant solution to anonymously link highly sensitive health records with academic records, such as grades, attendance, and graduation data. This groundbreaking approach ensures that individuals' health and academic records remain protected and cannot be re-identified. The creation of the Data xChange not only enables the collective measurement of the impact of school-based health centers on students' academic success and overall well-being but also propels public health research forward. The database serves as a comprehensive and consistently updated clearing house of longitudinal data, facilitating reliable comparisons and eliminating any privacy risks.
Before establishing Anton Consulting in 2001, Patricia Anton held the position of Senior Vice President at Digitas, a direct marketing agency specializing in database-driven customer loyalty programs. Prior to that, she cultivated a career in international marketing, living and working in Mexico and Canada. Patricia's academic background includes an undergraduate degree in Business from the University of Illinois and a Master's in International Business (MIBS) from the renowned University of South Carolina, recognized as a top institution for international business education in the United States.
