Rethinking Enterprise Analytics in the Age of Big Data

At UMBC, we want to evolve our current analytical environment to support our strategic goals of improving student success, supporting pedagogical innovation, and supporting faculty to advance research. To do this, we are rethinking all aspects of how we approach analytics, including our organizational structure, how we present data and support executives, and how to establish a flexible technical infrastructure that can scale to support big data. This effort is being led by leaders in institutional research, IT, and the Provost's Office, which will present our current efforts under way and the larger context for developing our analytics roadmap.

Outcomes: Learn about the organizational structures we considered and why we chose the approach we did * Learn how to leverage academic talent in new analytic projects Learn how to create a robust analytical infrastructure in AWS
