Webinar | Breaking Data Boundaries: University of Louisiana System Conquers New Frontier in Data Warehouse Automation
This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry Insights series.
After the academic technology leaders at the UL System led its nine-member institutions through a massive LMS migration project to Canvas in early 2024, the group quickly pivoted to its next big challenge: creating a single source of truth for all their enterprise data, including Canvas, Ellucian Banner, and Workday.
The team had specific requirements for this data management initiative:
- Data snapshots: To capture and preserve point-in-time records for accreditation, compliance, and operational reporting without the manual effort typically required.
- Quick Implementation: The project needed to be completed in weeks, not months.
- Right-Time Data: The data had to be updated as frequently as possible.
- Accurate Data: The data needed to be cleanly placed in a neutral data model that could integrate various BI tools.
- Cost-Neutral: The solution needed to eliminate manual processes or third-party solutions―or allow for the redeployment of existing resources
The seasoned UL System team knew these were lofty expectations. The manual processes they currently had to unify all this data were ineffective and resource-intensive. So they turned to K16 Solutions—the data company that migrated all of their LMS course content to Canvas and archived their historical data.
By leveraging K16’s strength in data migration, extraction, and transformation, the UL System team will achieve their vision of extracting near real-time data from their enterprise systems and have an accurate and holistic view of their LMS, CRM, and SIS data in one place without the burden of manual or expensive processes.
Learning Outcomes:
- Learn Quick Implementation Strategies: Discover the strategies and best practices used by the UL System team to implement a comprehensive data warehouse solution within a tight timeline.
- Enhance IT Efficiency and Decision-Making: See how full access to normalized enterprise data can improve IT efficiency, reduce costs, and support more informed decision-making across the organization.
- Understand Best-in-Class Data Integration: Gain insights into best-in-class practices for integrating data from multiple enterprise systems such as Canvas, Ellucian Banner, and Workday into a single source of truth.
