Most school districts have a lot of data, but often, not a lot of information. There’s test data, attendance data, data on staff training – the list goes on. Often, all of this data is in different computers, administrated by different staff in different locations. DecisionEd brings all of this data together, into a single database, providing actionable information to administrators, teachers and parents. From a district-wide view, to each school, to each individual student, users can see things clearly and completely for the first time.
Our data warehousing solution leverages the industry-leading IBM/Cognos® platform for delivery of dashboards and reports. Originally developed to provide business intelligence to the most demanding companies, we have adapted this robust system to the unique needs of education. Our off-the-shelf templates can be deployed quickly, then customized by each user to provide the exact information that he or she needs. And, because of our extensive experience implementing these solutions, we can have a complete data warehouse up and running quickly, often in a matter of weeks.
We are often commended on how we take the complex array of data generated by schools and synthesize it into easy-to-understand visual representations. Our easy-to-use dashboard and desktops make finding the right information simple. And our data visualization is second-to-none, providing graphical representations that are easily understood by every user.
