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 answer their business questions quickly and efficiently.

Data typically are extracted from their source systems at defined points in time, and loaded into various data repositories that can be queried for reporting and analysis.

We currently leverage a number of tools for accessing these data repositories, such as IBM Cognos, Legacy Data Warehouse, the Electronic Document Library (EDL), and eDocs Document Images.

The campus Business Intelligence team has launched a project to standardize these data repositories into one Enterprise Data Warehouse and to consolidate the various reporting tools. IBM Cognos will be the new standard for delivering dashboards, reports, ad-hoc query capabilities and other functionality. This effort began with the KFS launch in July 2014, and we expect to complete the transition by 2017, coinciding with the launch of the new Student Information System and UCPath.
