George Washington University

GWU needed data integration solution to serve as the backbone for multiple university systems, including a student management system, a student accounting system, and a grant maintenance platform.

The George Washington University (GWU) is the largest institution of higher education in the District of Columbia with more than 20,000 students.

Challenges

  • Support academic business intelligence
  • Optimize operational efficiency
The Informatica Platform is agnostic—it doesn’t turn its back on any type of data. By allowing the university to integrate data of any type, including social media, and data from any source, the technology is supporting key measures of academic performance, improving standards, and reducing costs. Ultimately, this is helping GWU maintain its position as a vibrant and attractive university, uniquely positioned to magnetize the best students.
