Case Study: North Iowa Area Community College achieves self-service reporting and dashboards with Informer by Entrinsik

North Iowa Area Community College migrates six offices to Informer by Entrinsik

North Iowa Area Community College was facing challenges with its previous reporting systems, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and SAP Business Objects. End-users had limited data access, creating reports was slow and difficult, and creating dashboards required extensive technical expertise that very few staff possessed. This hindered the college's ability to make timely, data-driven decisions. They turned to the vendor Entrinsik and adopted its Informer platform for business intelligence and analytics.

By implementing Entrinsik Informer, the college enabled self-service reporting and intuitive dashboard creation for a wide range of users. The results included six offices fully migrating from SSRS, with new users being added every two weeks. Dashboards providing real-time enrollment and retention data were auto-refreshed daily, which led to a strategic re-direction of retention efforts. The Entrinsik solution provided the entire faculty and staff with easy access to critical data for significantly improved decision-making.
