Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences, Data Administration and Management, and EDUCAUSE2007

This session will provide attendees with an opportunity to discuss current issues and share ideas and concerns about institutional data management, including governance and stewardship, policies and standards, and guidelines for application development, metadata, privacy and security, and quality and access.

This meeting will focus on the ways in which information technologies affect specialized operations, including software selection, staff training, standards and best practices, record-keeping and access, and data storage and retrieval. Come share your pitfalls, best practices, and proven solutions with your colleagues.

Florida State University has used business intelligence to reengineer much of our admissions processes, including decision processing, back-office workflow, data auditing, and reporting. Leveraging data gives us a strategic advantage in managing head count, quality, and diversity. We will discuss data uses, as well as organizational and process change.
