Case Study: Santa Clara University achieves flexible historical Workday reporting with CData

Santa Clara University gains 20+ years of historical student insights with CData

Santa Clara University, a prestigious educational institution, needed to integrate and analyze historical student data from their new Workday system. Their challenge was a lack of flexible reporting tools within Workday to visualize long-term trends for student enrollment and retention. They turned to CData Software and utilized the CData Drivers to solve this connectivity problem.

CData Software provided the CData Workday ODBC Driver, which enabled direct connections between Workday and the university's preferred analytics tools like Tableau, R/RStudio, and Excel. This solution allowed the team to create customizable reports, analyze decades of historical data, and combine Workday information with external sources. The results included deeper insights into student trends, improved quality assurance for academic programs, and a streamlined process for university-wide reporting standardization.
