DESCRIPTION
During an 18 month ERP upgrade Casper College began a journey to learn how to effectively deploy Business Intelligence. As we began to more fully understand the scope of our project as well as the enormity of this new and growing field we began asking how we could more effectively utilize business analytics for our entire data set. We will cover the types of tools, costs and how you can begin your journey to learn about this amazing field. We will also touch on the almost untouched topic of analtyical ethics. This session will help you move from being knowledge free to a tenderfoot in the expanding field of Business Intelligence in education.

eThe Experience
The Data Challenge (Part 1) We have Web Intelligence but are
lacking the ability to create reports from our whole data set.
SAP( for example) = good daily reports but no ad hoc, no visualization no dashboards

The Data Challenge (Part 2) We are being asked to be wise
stewards of state resources about a field that is brand new
The skills we are being asked to learn to do this right are in addition to all the other things we must know

Observations for the BI Tenderfoot Not one tool does everything Even if you say you have a Data
Warehouse you can only say you're doing Business Intelligence if you have tools to change data into useful information.

Observations for the BI Tenderfoot Premise options give more options and
capabilities for customization than cloud options
This is all brand new, you need a data scientist but they are not common….yet
The only KPI that matters is user adoption

Other Observations: 100% BI utilization should be goal Immediate need is still real-time Ad Hoc
Reporting and analysis Ethics in Analytics is virtually ignored Whatever you do should be Data Source
