Data Warehouse
IPA has partnered with UCM IT to develop a campus data warehouse (DW). An operational data store (ODS) platform from Sungard has been installed and linked to the Banner student system. The ODS, in conjunction with the Oracle Warehouse Builder ETL tool and Cognos Business Intelligence (BI) reporting tool, comprise the foundation for the DW which is in the early stages of development.
As the main repository of campus historical data, the data warehouse will help support decision-making by migrating information across administrative systems and providing a consistent basis for reporting and analysis.
