Estudias Enterprise

In a college or university with Estudias Enterprise, everyone in the institution is making decisions based on data instead of hunches. The idea of a "culture of evidence" permeates every facet of the institution. ZogoTech continues to help colleges and universities reach that ideal with Estudias Enterprise, an end-to end data warehousing and business intelligence solution.

Typical Data Flow  -- This is a diagram of the data flow within many institutions

• People Intensive (High IT/IR costs) -- Researchers / IT people are involved in every request for data
• Not scalable -- With more requests for data, the institution must add more people
• No standard data dictionary -- Information about which fields to use for which reports is spread across different departments, on paper, Excel files, or just in people's heads
• Multiple versions of the truth -- People use different fields, different business rules to develop the same report, leading to conflicting "facts"
• Data constantly changing -- Data on the ERP change constantly, making it impossible to re-create reports
• Inconsistent/incomplete information -- Users spend more time gathering and verifying data and less time analyzing data
• "Renegade reporting" -- Some users go directly to the data sources without taking into account all of the business rules used to combine the various data sources.

Estudias Enterprise Data Flow

• Single version of truth -- Users get their information from a single reporting base
• Common data definitions (data dictionary) -- A data dictionary explains which fields are used and how all data sources are merged together
• Scalable  -- As the institution becomes more data-driven, schools can simply add more users rather than overloading the IR/IT departments
• More analysis and less data gathering -- The ETL process gathers and verifies data from multiple data sources, so users can spend more time analyzing data
• Lower IT/IR costs -- With Self-service, end users can access their data and not wait on other departments lowering the IR/IT cost
• Centralized Security
