ISC’s Enterprise Information & Analytics group provides tools and services to guide strategic and operational decisions in Penn’s varied and diverse data culture. We support Penn's Data Warehouse and central data analytics toolset, including BusinessObjects and QlikView.
Penn's Data Warehouse
The University's Data Warehouse makes Penn's institutional data available to decision makers for query, analysis, and reporting.The Warehouse stores selected data from Penn's business systems, and is organized in subject areas listed below. The data is filtered, made consistent, and aggregated in various ways. Access to the Warehouse does not require formal programming skills; desktop tools such as BusinessObjects support analysis and reporting for authorized University users.
The Warehouse is organized by subject areas, into "data collections"; you can access information about a collection and general information about Penn's Data Warehouse from each data collection's home page. Data collection information includes the collection's refresh schedule, data diagrams, table and data element documentation, data training, and data security.
NOTE: Penn's Data Warehouse is moving to Snowflake, the Cloud data platform. Visit this page for more information about the migration.
