In recent years educational institutions have been the subject of major governmental reforms, soaring student numbers and restrictive spending regulations. Efficiency is crucial, and yet in this sector fundamental change is usually constrained by particular working practices. Those schools that have successfully adapted to meet the rigours of this new educational environment have found their ability to manage and utilise information crucial.
Educational institutions accumulate vast amounts of data regarding their students, staff, and dealings with various third parties. However, as this information is produced from innumerable sources and systems, and in various incompatible file formats, it cannot be easily set in context and thus much of the potential benefit is squandered. A business intelligence solution brings together these disparate data sources, equipping staff with the ability to access, analyse and share information in a simple, fast and economic manner.
