New York City’s Fordham University is equipping administrators with the data insights they need to make strategic decisions about enrollment and understand factors boosting and hindering student success. So instead of restricting the number of users who have access to a custom BI tool and requiring other people to depend on static or manually generated reports, the university is providing hundreds of administrators with an easy-to-use data analytics solution based on Microsoft Azure that includes Power BI and Machine Learning. With it, they can quickly and easily answer questions with custom reports and dashboards using one shared informational source, a SQL Server data warehouse. In addition, the university can improve operational agility, boost data security, accelerate time-to-value, increase staff efficiency, and reduce BI costs by 200 percent.
