Reported that the
Business Intelligence – Reporting & Dashboards project is moving along with
the kickoff taking place on 5/20 and 5/21. The purpose of the project is to
provide web-based dashboards and reports that enable visualization of Key
Performance Indicators (KPI's) and other strategic data for the College
regardless of the system (e.g. Banner, Learn, Starfish, Aceware) collecting or
storing the needed data. Through a readily-accessible, role-based, interactive
system, the dashboard tool will allow the user to view KPIs and other critical
data without delving into the semantics of the source system that manages the
detailed data. A related purpose is to provide greater flexibility and access
to power users to relevant information and data by enabling ad-hoc report
generation, modification and publication to the campus community. The project
will be done in phases with the Blackboard and Banner data being the first to
be integrated.

plan as well as provide guidance to the Marketing department as they set
priorities for the upcoming year.
