Case Study: Fresno Pacific University achieves real-time reporting and saves 60 hours per month with Informer by Entrinsik

Fresno Pacific Extracts Real Time Data From Multiple Databases

Fresno Pacific University, the Central Valley’s only accredited Christian university, relied on its Institutional Research Office for critical ad hoc, internal and external reporting from the student information system. The team faced delays and limited report customization because database experts had to build reports, and they needed an affordable, secure, easy-to-use solution that would let nontechnical staff create sophisticated reports quickly.

Fresno Pacific implemented Entrinsik Informer, an intuitive browser-based reporting tool that pulls real-time data without moving records to a data warehouse or cube. Users now generate about 15,000 scheduled and ad hoc reports monthly, gain always up-to-date data, and save almost 60 hours per month on report execution — delivering a clear, positive return on investment.
