ENABLING EVOLUTION

Data is fundamental to Penn’s missions of education, research, and service. ISC’s Data Analytics group leverages state-of-the-art tools to analyze data and create business intelligence that is critical to the future of the University.

The Data Analytics group’s cutting-edge work during the COVID pandemic was essential to Penn’s ability to open campus for classes. Today we use data to improve student course productivity, assist faculty in curriculum planning, manage the University’s premier research enterprise, and more. 

ISC’s Data Analytics offerings are expanding as we migrate data collections to the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. ISC is poised to support this next generation of tools that analyze more diverse data sets, leading to more insights with less overhead for the University.

Key Features

  • Data & AI is one of the pillars of Penn’s new IT Strategic Plan.
  • ISC’s Data Analytics team maintains more than 45 data collections in Penn’s Data Warehouse, which are queried more than a million times each month. Using its deep institutional knowledge, the team assists with basic reporting, complex longitudinal studies, ongoing departmental management, and grant monitoring by principal investigators.
  • Now, ISC is migrating our legacy Data Warehouse to Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud, ensuring that Penn’s critical data assets will be securely available for advanced analytical innovation and exploration. With the Snowflake platform, we can improve collaboration, automatically generate data insights, and be a better partner to the University.

The information captured in the Data Warehouse is an invaluable resource for the University. The data has been integrated into workflow throughout the research administration. The ability to incorporate information from multiple systems greatly increases the efficiency of our process.

ISC’s Enterprise Information & Analytics Team is a key contributor to the success of Pennant student systems. From daily reports and feeder diagnostics to the Data Warehouse, I cannot conceive doing my job successfully without their support.
