Enable Better Decision Making Through Data-Driven Insights in the Cloud

To be more competitive and overcome significant enrollment and fiscal challenges, higher education institutions need to develop useful insights into their students, faculty, alumni, and operations. Learning to strategically manage data assets in a cloud-first, multi-cloud environment is the best way to gain insights and support real-time, accurate decision making—goals that require a systematic approach to collecting, managing, and cleansing student and operational data. Institutions must be able to integrate and access data from any business system, in any format, and quickly analyze data to gain insights that support decision making.

Balance Budget Constraints with Educational Goals

Universities and colleges face falling student enrollments, decreases in state funding, and revenue shortfalls. To balance their budgets, schools need to look for ways to improve efficiencies and reduce costs—maximizing resources while improving cost transparency across institutional silos, campuses, and schools. Research organizations need additional transparency into the grant process so they can maximize grant-based funding. Yet disconnected legacy data warehouses and data lakes prevent organizations from ingesting huge volumes of data, managing its growth, finding and fixing data quality issues, and making data accessible to users.

Informatica provides modern cloud-based solutions that help educational institutions improve access to education, within budget. We help you take advantage of cloud data warehousing and data lake solutions so that information access is transparent and easy for students and staff. Our solutions also help educational organizations produce centralized, well-governed, and trusted data.
