California State University Selects Information Builders to Fast-Track Student Success

Cloud Data Management Solution Will Cleanse and Master 5.5 Million Employee and Student Records

Information Builders, a leader in business intelligence (BI), analytics, and data management solutions, announced that the California State University (CSU), the nation’s largest four-year public university serving more than 481,000 students, has selected Information Builders cloud-based Omni-Gen™ Master Data Management (MDM) solution to consolidate and cleanse data across its 23 campuses.

The CSU is deploying a new common Human Resource Management System for employees and students by consolidating each campus’s custom deployments into one. Expected to rollout in 2020, the project requires a cleansed and mastered 360-degree view of 5.5 million employee and student records. After an extensive technical evaluation and Request for Proposal process, the CSU made the switch to Information Builders Omni-Gen to better meet its data needs. The university sought to provide a single view of the student profile for its mission-critical Graduation Initiative 2025 – the CSU’s university-wide plan to improve student success by increasing graduation rates and eliminating equity gaps in degree completion to meet California’s workforce needs.

Information Builders Omni-Gen, available via Amazon Web Services (AWS), was evaluated, among other solutions, and selected by the CSU for its rapid, model-driven implementation of MDM, data cleansing, and data integration capabilities. The solution dramatically cuts the risk, time, and cost of creating applications that manage and monitor the entire data management life cycle. The CSU saw that Omni-Gen’s business-oriented views and portals would make collaboration across its 23 separate campuses more seamless and efficient, reducing the time and cost to deploying and maintaining an MDM solution.
