Elevating Data Analytics in Higher Education
In a significant stride toward advancing data analytics in the higher education sector, Alteryx, a premier provider of AI and data analytics solutions, has announced a new phase in its collaboration with Evisions, recognized as a leader in enterprise reporting solutions for educational institutions. This partnership aims to revolutionize how colleges and universities interact with data, ensuring quicker access to information, richer insights, and a more efficient decision-making process across various campus operations.
A New Era of Data Management
The latest development from this partnership features the introduction of "Accelerators", a suite of flexible and scalable solutions that include Evisions’ flagship reporting tool, Argos. Building on the powerful data blending capabilities of the Alteryx One platform, these Accelerators enable educational institutions to develop use-case-driven dashboards and workflows. Additionally, they provide vital connectors to key systems in higher education, allowing for seamless data blending from multiple sources on campus, hence boosting confidence and efficiency in analytics.
Jim Farrell, the Chief Solutions Officer at Evisions, remarked on the impact of their collaboration with Alteryx, highlighting their commitment to innovating solutions designed specifically for the nuanced needs of higher education. He stated, “By integrating with Alteryx, we are empowering institutions to connect their legacy systems with modern platforms, automate complex processes, and derive actionable insights that promote institutional success.”
This partnership represents a pivotal shift in how educational institutions manage their data. By combining Evisions’ Accelerators with the capabilities of the Alteryx One platform, schools gain the ability to prepare, blend, and visualize data across their systems rapidly, thereby facilitating informed decision-making that resonates through all campus departments.
Improving Student Outcomes
The initial Accelerator launched under this partnership, named Academic Engagement, is particularly noteworthy. Recent studies indicate a concerning trend: in 2024, about 32% of Americans reported little to no confidence in higher education, closely mirroring the 36% who expressed strong confidence according to EDUCAUSE. Addressing this relationship with public trust starts with enhancing student outcomes.
The Academic Engagement solution integrates data from various campus departments, enabling institutions to gain a better understanding of the student experience, identify at-risk students early on, and offer more targeted support. As a result, faculty and staff are empowered to act swiftly, making a significant impact on student success.
Key Benefits of the Partnership
The integration of Evisions and Alteryx simplifies data management and analytics workflows, tackling common challenges faced by educational institutions. Among the significant advantages are:
- - Unified View of Data: The Accelerators consolidate essential data sources such as Student Information Systems (SIS), Learning Management Systems (LMS), and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems into pre-built, easily adaptable dashboards and workflows.
- - Real-Time Insights: By providing ready-to-use solutions equipped with pre-built connectors, the Accelerators eliminate the protracted development cycles often associated with data reporting. Institutions can access critical information that influences areas like enrollment and operations without delay.
- - Actionable Dashboards: Role-specific dashboards are tailored to empower staff, faculty, and leaders to make timely interventions, quickly adapt strategies, and enact change that impacts the entire campus.
Steven Birdsall, the Chief Revenue Officer at Alteryx, underscored the urgency for higher education institutions to adapt in today’s fast-paced environment. He noted, “The ability to analyze and act on data is essential. Our collaboration with Evisions equips institutions to harness the full potential of their data, enhancing operational agility.”
The partnership between Evisions and Alteryx significantly enhances the analytics capabilities of higher education institutions, empowering them to navigate a competitive and changing landscape with confidence. By providing timely and verifiable data insights, this alliance not only promotes resource efficiency but also assists in solving complex data issues and constructing compelling narratives about institutional success.
