Today, many college and university leaders are struggling to make sense
of the overwhelming amount of data they have at theirfingertips in a
timely fashion.
According to research published by EDUCAUSE in 2015, 47% of higher
education leaders reported that institutional analytics is a major
priority. Also, Gartner's (News - Alert) 2016 research stated that, although many
higher education institutions report placing a high priority on
institutional analytics - at least for some departments, if not the
entire institution - most are grappling with how best to harness and
apply analytics to their advantage.
Ellucian Analytics is a role-based SaaS solution, providing insight and
access to reliable, enterprise wide data - pulling from Ellucian data
sources and others within an institution's ecosystem. The solution helps
institutions create a culture in which decision makers at all levels can
proactively use analytics to answer key business questions.
"Our approach to analytics is rooted in three key principles," said Jeff
Ray, president and CEO at Ellucian. "First, analytics are supposed to
answer questions, not just deliver data. Second, analytics should unlock
the campus and make critical information available to every decision
maker who needs it. The third is that content matters, and that the most
valuable information should always be front and center. Ellucian
Analytics not only meets these standards of performance - it exceeds
them with a user experience that is second to none."
Ellucian Analytics embraces the power of the Ethos platform and is part
of Ellucian's suite of cloud-based solutions built for higher education
that leverage Amazon Web Services (News - Alert).
Key features include:
-
Intuitive concepts based on who you are and what you do by business
area on campus
-
Ease of access via the web, tablet and mobile devices
-
The ability for users to rate dashboards and reports, strengthening
institutional data
-
A SaaS model that enables quick time to value
Using an innovative cloud delivery model, Ellucian Analytics will be
available beginning December 2016, and the company will be continuously
introducing analytics for a growing set of roIes across the
institutional ecosystem through 2017. To learn more, visit this
