Data health is a metric that describes how well your data supports your campus outcomes from recruitment and student success to fundraising goals. This is much more than moving data from place to place. It’s about making sure that data is clean, accurate, and trusted. Learn how Talend Data Fabric simplifies the data quality aspect of the equation by involving the data experts in the process with tools that foster collaboration between IT, business, and faculty. Please join Talend as they demonstrate how they approach this important issue.

STARTING OR ADVANCING A CAREER IN BI
Ted Bross from Princeton University was one of the original founders of HEDW some 20 years ago. He has served in several leadership positions in HEDW and continues to support the organization including numerous conference presentations. As he now closes in on retirement, we invited him to speak on several topics related to BI. Last month, it was the ‘The Future of BI’ as he provided his perspective on what the future looked like. This month, it is ‘Starting or Advancing a Career in BI’. Check out the Blog to hear his thoughts on both topics.
