Education Data Management

Challenges

The education industry is challenged by having vast amounts of data in silos, in various formats and in multiple systems spread across different schools, departments, districts and campuses. Education institutions and agencies struggle to unlock valuable information due to outdated legacy systems and limited analytics capabilities – leaving them data-rich but insight poor. Relevant data must be consolidated, cleansed and integrated to understand the past and promote proactive decision making for the future.
