University of St. Thomas and California State University, Stanislaus Select iStrategy HigherEd Analytics for Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence

OWINGS MILLS, Md., July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- iStrategy Solutions ("iStrategy"), the leading developer of higher education data warehousing and data analytics solutions, today announced the University of St. Thomas (Texas) and California State University (CSU) Stanislaus have selected iStrategy HigherEd Analytics™ for web-enabled reporting, dashboards and self-service business intelligence sourced from ERP data.  

Both the University of St. Thomas and California State University (CSU) Stanislaus selected the iStrategy Student Analytics module for improved enrollment management.  California State University (CSU) Stanislaus will also implement the iStrategy Financial Management module for analysis of budgeting and finance-related data.

iStrategy HigherEd Analytics provides pre-packaged, customizable data models and metrics that integrate out-of-the-box with PeopleSoft, Banner and Datatel ERP.  This pre-built approach eliminates many of the risks typical in a traditional data warehousing project.  As a result, institutions that choose iStrategy achieve timely, actionable reporting, dashboards and business intelligence for a fraction of the cost and time typically required by alternative solutions.

Joanna Palasota, Director of Administrative Computing and Institutional Research, University of St. Thomas (Texas), said, "We were drawn to iStrategy HigherEd Analytics for its pre-built data warehouse that would be implemented in months, instead of an implementation lasting for years as other solution providers had estimated.  The iStrategy solution will provide data on a self-service, on-demand basis, allowing us to work with data much more strategically."

Palasota added, "The iStrategy solution will enable our President and executive team to more effectively monitor student recruiting at the start of the semester and assist students during the semester.  iStrategy HigherEd Analytics will help us identify data correlations between student class load, class complexity, SAT/ACT scores, high school GPAs and to track student progress and proactively respond with essential assistance.  We are excited by the prospect of enhancing student success with the aid of iStrategy HigherEd Analytics."

"Colleges and universities able to strategically analyze and act upon data have a competitive advantage over other institutions," said Mark Max, CEO of iStrategy.  "iStrategy HigherEd Analytics customers routinely inform us they have improved student outcomes, identified new opportunities to help students succeed, achieved superior stewardship of financial resources and budgets, and much more.  iStrategy provides these key benefits while substantially expediting the technical implementation of our analytic modules and reducing cost compared to other solutions."
