We have been fortunate to attract major software providers as well as those smaller service based firms that provide guidance, development resources surrounding implementation of solutions as well as pre-packaged “all-in-one” reporting/database solutions. All vendors featured were recommended by colleagues who belong to the HEDW list serve and therefore have proven experience in higher education environments.

Phytorion
Established in 2005, Phytorion, with a rich history and expertise that uniquely sits at the intersection of higher education and data warehouse/analytics, has enabled institutions such as Cornell University, all the Public Universities of Maine, Long Beach City College and Iowa State University to address their analytics needs in a very cost-effective manner.
By using our mature, fully integrated data warehouse products, our comprehensive implementation methodology and expertise in Higher Education, our schools enjoy the benefits of a tailored data warehouse and analytics solution.
What fundamentally distinguishes our approach is our willingness and ability to create a solution that fits not just the generic but your specific organization. Whether that means dealing with unique requirements or a need to build internal consensus first; limited IT support or large and complex IT departments with detailed standards and procedures; focused data mart needs or comprehensive enterprise data warehouse initiatives – we will work with you to create the right project and solution.
We begin with our fully integrated, very detailed data warehouses in Student, HR and Finance that can be implemented either as a whole or in increments depending on your needs. Since most organizations have a variety of source systems, we can then build bridges to retrieve data from additional sources such as legacy, third party systems, databases and spreadsheets. We finally modify and deliver pre-existing reports and analytics that meet your specific reporting and analytics requirements, working with your BI tools. Such an approach significantly accelerates the process, cutting months from traditional data warehousing and analytics projects, resulting in costs and timelines that meet your budget and schedule.
