Case Study: Medical University of South Carolina achieves controlled, self-service data access with Informer by Entrinsik

Medical University of South Carolina expands data access for 85 users with Informer by Entrinsik

The Medical University of South Carolina faced challenges with data access and inefficient reporting workflows from its Ellucian Colleague system. Manual processes, including moving data from CSV to Excel for analysis, created bottlenecks and consumed valuable staff time. The university lacked a turn-key solution to securely provide targeted data to its various teams, leading to delays in fulfilling data requests. To address this, they turned to Entrinsik and its Informer platform.

By implementing Entrinsik's Informer, the university created secure, self-service reports that allowed end-users to access only the specific data they needed. The solution's automated Jobs feature streamlined recurring workflows and enabled data delivery via email bursts, directly targeting relevant staff. This resulted in significant time savings and data democratization, granting 85 users across 35 teams data independence. The team also created automated sentinel datasets to monitor data quality, replacing manual processes and significantly improving overall efficiency.
