UCI Decision Support Services (UCI DSS) provides integrated, clean, timely, consistent, and documented data for reporting and analysis. Campus decision-makers and analysts can use UCI DSS to run reports in order to answer their business questions as quickly and efficiently as possible.

UCI DSS maintains a single source of trusted data in ODS and the Legacy Data Warehouse. Data is extracted at certain Data typically are extracted from their source systems at defined points in time, and loaded into these data repositories from central administrative systems such as:

• Financial System
• Payroll System
• Employee System
• Purchasing System
• Equipment System
• Space Inventory System
• USA Address Database from the US Post Office

various data repositories that can be queried for reporting and analysis.

We currently leverage a number of tools for accessing these various data sources to develop reports, including: repositories, such as IBM Cognos, Legacy Reports (BLISS)Data Warehouse, the Electronic Document Library (EDL), and eDocs Document Images.

The Campus campus Business Intelligence team has launched a project to standardize UCI’s various these data repositories into one Enterprise Data Warehouse (logical or physical) and to consolidate the various reporting tools into one. The IBM Cognos tool will be the new standard for delivering Professional Dashboardsdashboards, Standard Reports, and Cubes for doing Analysis and AdHoc Query capabilities. This transition started with the KFS go-live in July, 2014 reports, ad-hoc query capabilities and other functionality. This effort began with the KFS launch in July 2014, and we expect to be fully transitioned to the new and integrated campus data warehouse and Cognos complete the transition by 2017, coinciding with the launch of the new Student Information System and UCPath go-lives.
