A leading nonprofit serving higher education needed a data warehouse and analytic capabilities to support industry research and internal business operations. Our client was looking for a cost-effective, extensible and scalable solution that could grow with the business. Specifically, the organization needed to address:
- The lack of software, infrastructure, and tools to support data warehousing and analytic needs
- Insufficient staff to manually deliver on internal and external requests for research and operational reporting metrics
- Disparate systems and sources of data, making it time consuming to retrieve the necessary data required to satisfy the needs of internal and external constituents
- A desire to shift toward a data-driven mindset throughout the organization to measure performance and drive decisions
