Overview
UCI Decision Support Services Services (UCI DSS) use a combination of the Campus Data Warehouse (DWH), Cognos, and other web-based reporting and analysis tools to provide 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. It is a source for operational, ad-hoc and analytical reporting and carries years of historical data for trend analysis. Many administrative data subject areas are available for reporting needs including Financials, Personnel/Payroll, Billing and Accounts Receivable, Budget, Facilities, Research, Contracts/Grants, and Student Enrollment.
...
UCI DSS maintains a single source of true data in ODS and the Legacy Data Warehouse. Data is extracted at certain 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
We currently leverage a number of tools for accessing
...
these various data sources to develop reports, including:
...
IBM Cognos, Legacy Reports (BLISS), the Electronic Document Library (EDL),
...
and eDocs Document Images
...
We provide the following services to cater to the information and reporting needs of various departments at UCI:
- Establish and maintain single source of true data (in ODS and DWH) for reporting and analysis.
- Build and maintain standard reports & dash boards to assist enterprise and department’s needs.
- Provide training for self-service reporting and analytics, supporting staff report development.
- Data education and training on appropriate use.
- Access and security.
...
.
The Campus Business Intelligence team has launched a project to standardize UCI’s various 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 Dashboards, Standard Reports, and Cubes for doing Analysis and AdHoc Query capabilities
...
We are in a major transition phase where the legacy data warehouse built in 1996 and the legacy reporting tool BLISS, are being replaced with a new campus data warehouse and reporting tool (IBM Cognos). This transition started with the Kuali FS KFS go-live in July, 2014 and we expect to be fully transitioned to the new and integrated campus data warehouse and Cognos in by 2017, with the new Student Information System and UCPath go-lives.
