About Integrity

• The situation in many schools and school systems is that there are a series of software applications which all may require the same data, but which have no way to talk to each other.

• It may be possible for one or two applications to share data through proprietary methods, but open, dynamic and synchronized data sharing does not occur.

Reporting & Analysis Tools

Educational Uses of aData Warehouse Support data-driven decision

making. Find opportunities for

improvement. Analyze issues. Create solutions based on data. Feedback loop: measure progress

towards success. Make meaningful assessment

information available to teachers and administrators.

Educational Uses of aData Warehouse Enter/import data quickly and

easily. Create flexible, user friendly

reports. Provide ad-hoc reporting

capabilities for power-users. Develop a foundation of

capabilities on which to build.

Why a Data Warehouse?Warehouse Physical Model

1. ManufacturingFinished goods are created from raw materialsat a manufacturing facility purpose builtfor particular products.

2. TransportationFinished goods are transported from multiplemanufacturers.

3. WarehouseFinished goods from multiple manufacturers areorganized and stored within a central facility.

Warehouse Physical Model

4. Retail StoreFinished goods are displayed for sale toconsumers.

5. ConsumersShop for and purchase goods to meet particularneeds.

Data Warehouse Model

1. Operational Systems = Manufacturing

Gather and store raw data from specific processes

5. Consumers =Teachers, Administrators

Better use of data to analyze student performance

Visualize the “track” students are on

Use data and analytics to make decisions about instruction

SIF and Data Warehousing: Better Together

SIF Benefits Facilitates

automatic data sharing among applications

Many district applications are ready to go

Eases administrative overhead

Ensures data is up to date in all systems

Data Warehouse Benefits Provides a

systematic way to gather, store, and view data from multiple operational systems

“Single point of truth” of district data

Enables process improvement

SIF and Data Warehousing: Better Together Implementing SIF and Data

Warehousing together… Lowers total cost of ownership by

minimizing the number of extract/transform/load processes

Ensures data is always up to date Makes it easy to add new

operational systems and data points to the data warehouse
