Abstract

Addressing campus reporting and analytical needs can be a daunting task. This seminar will provide a coherent framework that covers the fundamentals of the data warehouse and business intelligence (BI). It will cover specific tasks associated with defining the implementation scope, developing budgets, building the data warehouse architecture, selecting BI software, going over the concepts of the dimensional modeling, building data security, ensuring data quality, and reviewing the development of the dashboards and other information-delivery vehicles.

The implementation of the business intelligence solution addressing the needs of the academic deans, cabinet, faculty, and staff is far more than just a technical endeavor creating many changes in a slowly changing environment of higher education; from marketing and communications, to well-thought-out training programs, to redefining people's roles and responsibilities, this seminar will address how to manage changes in people, processes, and campus analytical culture that are necessary for successful BI implementation.
