Case Studies
Colorado State University
The Challenge
Colorado State University is a sprawling institution of 33,000 students, eight colleges, and four state agencies administered by the school. Over the years, its myriad departments and entities had spawned more than 15,000 separate reports generated by multiple systems that frequently produced conflicting information. The university recognized that it was time to create an analytics platform that would improve data quality, simplify reporting, and make information more easily available, inside the institution and out.
Even people who have a modest level of technical proficiency can get the data they need. When people come to meetings all the numbers are correct and consistent.”

Texas A&M University-Commerce
The Challenge
Texas A&M University-Commerce realized that it needed much more sophisticated tools to aggregate and analyze data in order to innovate, cut costs, and meet the state’s extensive reporting requirements. The 12,000-student school, which is a 90-minute drive northeast of Dallas, had an array of (often old) computer systems servicing different functions. Even preparing the daily report comparing current enrollment to the previous year took an analyst five hours in Excel. “Our data was hidden, disjointed, and siloed, making it hard to determine whether or not we were doing a good job meeting the goals we had set for our campus,” said Shonda Gibson, associate vice chancellor of academic affairs for The Texas A&M University System.
We’re not only data-driven; our data has made us a more insightful organization. ibi helps us to continually improve and to accomplish our mission, which is to serve students and help them to transform their lives.”
