Education Data Management

Today’s higher education institutions are using technology to create unprecedented opportunities for students to collaborate, create and have access to learning anytime, anywhere.

With this transformation, many colleges and universities are confronted with too much data and not enough information. Vital records are housed in various formats and across diverse systems with no way to pull them together, find high-value information and apply it to achieving student and campus goals.

Education Data Management (EDM) is an integrated technology system that helps solve this dilemma, enabling higher education institutions to capture, store and use actionable data.

In addition to supporting student performance, a strong EDM program provides a powerful platform to:

• Boost recruiting efforts by identifying, targeting and tracking top students and faculty.
• Increase graduation rates through personalized learning.
• Maintain records on alumni, donors, grant applications and research projects.

Backed by years of data management and educational experience, the Dell services team can work with your campus to build a high-efficiency EDM environment. Key components of Dell’s EDM system include:

• Master Data Management/Data Governance: a set of processes and technologies that collect, store, integrate and distribute critical data across an organization’s systems, applications and business processes. Disciplined governance ensures that data is high quality.
• Data Warehousing: a platform that provides a secure, integrated repository to enable data flow.
• Education Intelligence: services that deliver data through role-based dashboards, scorecards and reports to impact instruction, business and operations while providing the basis for timely analytics and informed decisions.
• Education Data Portal: a self-service site for users to access and process the information they need, whenever and wherever they need it.
