Overview

UCI DSS is responsible for designing and delivering solutions to business problems using a combination of operational data stores (ODS), campus data warehouse (DWH),  Cognos Reports, Legacy Reports (BLISS), and document imaging (Electronic Document Library (EDL)  and eDocs/Filenet)

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.
    • Assure that data is documented, clean, consistent, and timely.
    • The Campus Data Warehouse provides a central repository for many areas of administrative data including Financials, Personnel/Payroll, Billing and Accounts Receivable, Budget, Facilities, Research, Contracts/Grants and Security.
  • Build and maintain standard reports & dash boards to cater to enterprise and department’s needs.
  • Provide platform and training for self-service reporting and analytics, supporting staff report development.
  • Data education, appropriate use, and training.
  • Access.

The Campus Business Intelligence utilizes IBM Cognos tools to deliver Professional Dashboards, Standard Reports, 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 go-live in July, 2014 and we expect to be fully transitioned to the new campus data warehouse and Cognos in 2017, with the new Student Information System and UCPath go-lives.
