Enterprise Reporting Project
Goals
- Create UW-wide agreement on "institutional" answers to
Top 5 questions Deans and Chancellors ask about their schools, colleges, and campuses.
- Provide these answers through a single, easy-to-access Web portal.
- Create a foundation and repeatable methodology for continuing to
define our institutional data.
- Inform the build-out of our Enterprise Data Warehouse to support
our data needs at both central and local levels.
Guiding
Principles
- Meet UW needs first! (i.e., answers to
the Top 5 meet internal UW purposes as opposed to state or accreditation
requirements).
- "Answers" to Top 5 represent 80% of the needs across schools,
colleges, and campuses (may have more than one "answer" if needed
to meet need).
- Initial audience is the deans (future iterations can broaden to
other audiences)
- Report will provide answers to these questions longitudinally, by
school, college, campus, and UW-wide.
- Provide clear documentation (in "simple English") on how reports
are defined, generated, and utilized.
- Do not go through "heroics" to generate this data; generate
it using a repeatable report process on existing databases OR outline
the work necessary to generate this data from the Enterprise Data
Warehouse.
