Providing a Consolidated View of Operations, Quickly

In an education environment more transparent than ever, where the majority of users are non-technical, having the ability to effectively access and explore data at a granular level to improve decision making within your own organisation is critical.  Having one consolidated view of operations that spans multiple schools, campuses and divisions to measure, compare and profile performance results as they happen over any time period. This supports more effective decisions about student achievement and lifecycle, course planning, operations, purchasing, staffing and future planning.
