MIS Data Warehouse:

Example #1

• The Annual Employee Appreciation Day for full time administrative staff is coming up next month.– Jean Rogers, Director of HR, wants to be SURE she has a

complete and accurate list of those that should be honored.

• Jean asks, John Campbell, her Administrative Assistant, to pull together the list so that she can share it with her management team for this afternoon’s 2 PM meeting.– John is new to the job but he is comfortable working with

data and he knows Excel.

– Last month he had a 3 hour orientation on the use of SunGard’s new reporting tool named Cognos.

– Can John get the information needed for the 2 PM meeting?

John did very well … he was able to produce Jean’s report, send her an Excel version and surprised her with a new report

MIS Performance Reporting and Analytics:

New Performance Management Applications

• SunGard’s data warehouse provides extensive, flexible information to management and staff

• Out-of-the-box solution for daily operational support and analytics

• But even the best reporting and analytic solutions often don’t meet the needs of executive management and a strategy-driven organization

Performance Management Applications

Executives Want More Than Operational Reports

• Leaders Are Focused on Difficult Strategic Issues

– Monitoring ongoing effectiveness of recruitment campaigns

– Matching enrollments with institutional programs– Recruiting best qualified applicant pool – Responding to demand for increased accountability

• Leaders Have Strategies to Solve These Issues

– Strategies identify goals, objectives and desired outcomes

– Execution of strategy is essential for success– Leaders want to monitor progress towards strategy –

not another report

Performance Management Applications

Strategy and Plans Need Ongoing Communication

• A new layer of information is needed for senior management • Data needs to be transformed into the language of strategy• Progress towards goals and objectives needs to be monitored• A single information access architecture for the entire institution

Performance Management: More Than Dashboards

– Everybody’s measures can be (will be) different– Dashboards lack the context of “where your team wants to go”– Dashboards: summarize what has happened (looking

backwards)
