Agenda • Hi Ed Business Intelligence Opportunities • Customer BI Issues • The Impact on Higher Education • Critical BI Partner Components • Business Intelligence Data Flow • Deploying with Partners • Success Factors & Next Steps • Additional Resources
The BI Hi Ed Market Opportunity • • • Funding/ERP are top issues among institutions 94% of all Hi Ed Institutions do not have a DW 80% of US students are non-university attendees Annual Hi Ed ERP expenditures at $3 Billion ERP spend is increasing at 20% annually *Source: EDUCAUSE 2003 Survey
Data Warehouse Relevancy • Few institutions have all of the major institutional data areas available • Most start with either student data, human resources, or finance data • Their goal is to evolve toward a comprehensive set of data elements and reports *Source: EDUCAUSE 2003 Survey
Is this what you are hearing? “How do we make decisive improvement decisions when we can’t drill down into our data to uncover the cause-andeffect patterns that affect our institution? ” “We have enormous amounts of data available to us, but by the time our department can access it we are in a reactive mode. ” “Our users are demanding so much information that our systems are bogged down from a huge backlog of unanswered requests. ” “How can I efficiently empower my staff to see day-to-day operations and align their efforts with the institution’s long-term strategy? ” “Our users lack the tools to easily interpret and make decisions based on available data. ”
Hi Ed’s Economic Challenges • Increased accountability for the university’s use of public funds – Current economy has led to increasing enrollment and less funding • Increasing enrollment leads to complex curriculum planning – Efficient space and resource utilization is a critical success factor • Matching faculty to the needs of curriculum delivery – Overcoming academic culture of autonomy and decentralization • Accountability to the public for the contributions of faculty – Higher accountability due to collecting and analyzing data • Declining funds force tough resource allocation decisions – Administrative and academia are historically reluctant to change
Hi Ed’s Infrastructure Challenges • Data Collection – Data is locked in different systems – Manual processes required to extract available data • Reporting – – Administrators scramble to pull data from different sources Work is tedious, time-consuming and driven by deadlines • Analysis – Lack of robust tools available for in-depth data analysis – Data analysis is basic and non-conclusive • Information Distribution – Information is manually updated to websites – Much of the information and results are not accessible • Institutional Approach Changes – Changes are not driven by scientific methods
Adding Value to Solve the Problem • What products or services do you currently provide that can help overcome these challenges? • What specialized BI knowledge does your business have that can be leveraged in Hi Ed? • What are the key differentiators you utilize when selling to Hi Ed? • Does your technology roadmap complement upcoming Microsoft releases for Hi Ed? • Who do you generally sell to in Hi. Ed?

An improvement in their proactive decision making through access to higher quality, readily available data? More efficient use of their institutional funds through better analysis of projected expenditures and revenues?
