Case Study: Ghent University gains faster policy insights and budget visibility with Dimensional Insight Diver

Diver Underpins University Policy and Budgets

Ghent University, a large institution with over 41,000 students and 9,000 employees, needed better insight into its education, research, and personnel budget allocation policies to support informed decision-making. They sought a flexible business intelligence solution that was easy for end-users to access and could be maintained by a small team. The university selected the Diver platform from vendor Dimensional Insight to address this challenge.

Dimensional Insight implemented the Diver platform to create three tailored applications for budget distribution, education policy, and research partnership analysis. The collaborative development process resulted in a highly effective self-service system. The solution empowered hundreds of employees across the university to find information independently, saving significant time and providing much deeper insight into policy and operations, which users praised for its ease of use and low learning curve.
