About ZogoTech

ZogoTech helps schools make better-informed decisions through data warehousing. Using ZogoTech's business intelligence solution, Institutional Researchers and Administrators can quickly "slice and dice" data, play "what-if" scenarios, perform longitudinal cohort tracking, and create ad-hoc reports. ZogoTech's solutions consolidate information silos to provide a single version of the truth.

Differentiation

Higher Education Consortium

All of ZogoTech’s software has been built in conjunction with leaders of higher education. ZogoTech’s process is to identify leaders in the field of higher education, listen to them, and implement those requirements. Thus, partner schools benefit from best practices from other leaders in higher education.

In many respects, the ZogoTech Consortium is like extending your IT department without having to hire someone skilled in business analysis, user interface design, database design, programming, and documentation.

Higher Education Expertise

ZogoTech is a higher education company first and a software company second. Our strategic focus is to deepen our knowledge of higher education, rather than to sell to other industries.

With most BI companies, a college must spend months educating the company about the needs of higher education, etc. With ZogoTech, the reverse is often true. ZogoTech brings best practices from other schools to the table, educating the client about how other schools are using data. The product incorporates all of this knowledge so that schools can quickly start using what has already been developed by Achieving the Dream and Baldrige-winning schools.

Successful Process

Data warehousing projects are notoriously expensive and have an abysmal success rate. ZogoTech’s process, honed from years of experience with institutions of higher education, has a very high success rate and is much less expensive.

One of the most time consuming aspects of a data warehouse is creating the reports. This involves talking to users, understanding their needs and creating data access mechanisms for those needs. ZogoTech's approach is to deploy what has been developed by other schools and then make customizations. Since the reports in our solution represent the best practices from Achieving the Dream, Title V and Title III schools, schools are able to quickly ramp up their ability to make data-driven decisions with little additional customization.

ZogoTech's approach to data warehousing differs from traditional data warehousing projects. ZogoTech's process has proven to have:

• Far lower costs
• Higher success rates
• Fewer unknowns
• Quicker turnarounds
