BETHESDA, MD —Governments and businesses are awash in data, but need help making sense of it to see the big picture and take action. In response, Abt Global has launched comprehensive new data science and technology capabilities for its clients to harness the power of data and drive social impact around the globe.
As a full-service technology, data, and innovation partner, Abt will offer expertise across the entire spectrum of data — from the initial capture, to data wrangling and analytics, and data visualization and dissemination. Abt will combine its deep experience in developing, conducting and capturing high-quality data via complex surveys with its ability to normalize, analyze and transform data into actionable insights.
“For more than 50 years, Abt has collected and used high-quality data to help clients understand and solve some of the most pressing problems – everything from halting the spread of the Zika virus to conducting large-scale surveys that help us uncover causes of fatal crashes among young drivers and find solutions to prevent them,” said Michael Link, who leads Abt’s new Data Science, Surveys and Enabling Technologies division. “As our clients rapidly adopt technology-based, complex data solutions, we bring the best and brightest together to comprehensively serve all of their data needs to help them make better-informed decisions.”
Our offerings to clients include:
- Data capture: From simple web surveys to more complex, multi-mode surveys and multi-method designs, which leverage the latest technologies.
- Data wrangling: Expert handling of data from diverse sources to help clients analyze and make sense of the information.
- Data analytics: Advanced analytics that apply machine learning capabilities, geospatial analysis methods, and large-scale data management.
- Data visualization and dissemination: Dynamic, web-based dashboards to help clients explain and take action on data, developed via user-centric design methods and agile development processes.
The new Data Science, Surveys and Enabling Technologies division within Abt will combine the capabilities of its survey and research unit, formerly known as Abt SRBI, with the company’s Client Technology Center.

Public Warning: Recruitment Phishing Scam Impersonating Abt Global
Abt Global has become aware of a phishing scheme targeting individuals with fraudulent interview requests and job offers. Abt’s secure IT systems and private applicant information have not been compromised; scammers are impersonating Abt employees, using the company name and branding to mislead and engage potential job seekers in fake recruitment processes. Scammers might reference real job openings or describe fake opportunities that generally match individuals’ professional backgrounds, with the goal of establishing communication and eventually obtaining private financial information to defraud people. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Federal Trade Commission warn that employment scams such as this are a growing cyber threat. Abt urges anyone who is contacted about employment opportunities to exercise caution and know that: All communication from Abt Global will be from an Abt employee using the @abtglobal.com email domain (e.g., recruiting@abtglobal.com). We do not use third-party recruiters. Abt Global recruiters will only schedule interviews for candidates who have applied for a position through our secure portal. You may view your application status through the applicant portal on Abt Global Careers. No corporate or IT systems at Abt are affected by this scam. The scammers are using Abt’s logo and employee names to impersonate the company. You can directly contact us at recruiting@abtglobal.com with any questions or concerns. Abt is committed to ensuring the safety and security of our community. We caution individuals to be vigilant in protecting personal data and vetting communication with new contacts from any company. Do not respond or provide any personal information if contacted by someone claiming to represent a company to which you did not submit a job application or profile.
