Achieving revenue and profitability goals when faced with:
• Increasing competition in the FE sector (domestic and international)
• Need to exceed Government targets for educational performance
• Decline in traditional revenue streams (state funding/philanthropy)
• Constraints in tuition fee increases
• Pressure to offer students demonstrable added-value
Business challenges
September 2012 3
Business needs:
• Supporting daily decision making with: ‑ More in-depth information
‑ More up to date information
• Enabling strategic decisions through:
- Rapid answers to specific questions
- More insight on trends/issues and
opportunities
BI challenges:
• Simplistic visualization & reporting tools
• Required hours and hours of manual preparation
• And manual consolidation of data from different systems
• CIS team is already stretched, BI requests add to that workload
The challenge for our BI
September 2012 4
NeutrinoBI had just the breakthrough BI tool we needed
• Initial implementation during the summer recess 2012
• New dashboard reporting for:
– On-going Success/Achievement ratings
– Daily attendance metrics
• Across two key databases:
– Oracle - Student record system of over 100 Million records
– SQL - Timetabling and attendance database of 4 Million records
The NeutrinoBI Project
September 2012 5
The team at NeutrinoBI came in on a Monday morning, and I performed the first search at lunch-‐<me
– With the NeutrinoBI built-‐in data acquisiGon tool, new data take-‐on was fast and efficient
– In fact, once the data view was available in Neutrino, it only took less than 25 minutes to:
• Build a domain
• Define drill-‐down and aggregate the data
• Assign the domain to a new user
• Ask our 1st quesGon
We could then immediately build a dashboard that reported on total absences/ lateness/ a@endance by course by day of week, by <me, and by student
Results: fast implementaGon

Results: how it looks
In the next few months we expect NeutrinoBI to replace over 100 legacy Dashboards September 2012 7
More than dashboard reporting – it gives the management team the freedom to search.
My testing shows that finding information is really fast:
Results: rapid search and discovery
September 2012 8
Our intention: to use NeutrinoBI to deliver the insight we need to continue developing as one of the UK’s most progressive Further Education establishments.
• Roll-out self-service data discovery to 60 of our Senior Managers over the next 3 months
• Deploy cloud service to satisfy our international customers
• Developing web-based focused daily performance dashboards for all 15,000 students and their sponsors
• Planning for iPad deployment in the future
