Medical University of South Carolina Expands Secure, Curated Data Access Across 35 Teams with Informer

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), a multi-college health sciences university serving more than 3,000 students, faced persistent reporting bottlenecks: complex Ellucian Colleague data structures that were hard to transfer to nontechnical staff, manual CSV/Excel post-processing, no turn‑key filtering to deliver only relevant records, and an inflexible system for scheduling recurring jobs that wasted staff time.

By deploying Informer, MUSC now builds curated reports and uses post-query Flow Steps to transform, filter and join data, while Informer Jobs automates custom-scheduled datasets and email bursts to deliver targeted information to teams like Financial Aid. The result is controlled, secure data democratization—about 85 users across 35 teams gain self‑service access—faster, cleaner reporting with dozens of sentinel datasets and ~150 jobs replacing manual ad‑hoc work, and measurable time savings and reduced notification fatigue.
